Light weight 17" wheels?
Got a 2013 JKU Sport 3.73 Auto...
What are some light weight 17" wheels I can run with some DT 315/70/17s? It's going to be a while before I think about regearing so I'd like to make this combo as light as possible.
Was wanting some Pintlers but I'm not even sure what they weigh vs. some other good brands out there. Stock Moabs + spacers might even be an option if its lighter.

Find some you like and then go look up the weight. A pound or two really isn't going to make much of a difference. Get yourself a programmer and you will be fine with your Penta and 3.73's.

Centerline and Tirerack both publish weights on a lot of their rims. Not sure if Weld does. There are probably more, but that's all I can think of right now.
Centerline would be my personal go-to for lightweight wheels. I think their entire line is straight up forged aluminum, so you gotta take that into account for whatever you're using the JK for. (ie, I wouldn't use them for rock bashing).
In their 33" max tire size categories, I see Centerline 17x8's weighing in at 19lbs and 17x9.5's at 21lbs. That's pretty sweet. They don't seem to publish weights for their 44" max-size truck rims - but I'd think they'd tell you if you called.

Looks like the Pintler is 23.8 lbs.
