Okay. So moving on from the MT choices. I've decided alloy wheel instead. With that being said now I'm at ProComp 7069 or Black Rock Yuma 909B. Choices?

I would use RR if I was using 315 tire or AEV for 295-285

If I choose the BR will I have to do/buy anything else to make it work? I'm still lost on this hubcentric/lug centric thing. I get the idea but as far as putting it to practical use I'm lost. I don't know if ill need any other hardware or whatever to make it work?

Or do I not have to worry about it since you guys are talking RR and AEV. And the BR and PC are not like the RR and AEV

Aluminium rims are made of light but thick material, vs heavy but thin material of steal rims. The two pretty much balance each other, so there's no significant weight difference.

Well part of that is true. MT28 weight 29 Lb each. Compared to the ProComps that weigh 20 lb each. I'd say that's pretty significant over the course of the vehicles life.
