Default Rubicon wheel weight?
Anybody know the weight of the stock Rubicon 17" wheels by chance? I want to try and get an estimate for shipping.

Thanks

That was the wheel and tire combined... I would guess about 20-25 pounds for the wheel.. just for reference a 17x9 Pro Comp 8179 weighs about 26#

Anyone have a definite answer for this? I'd like to compare the weight to some aftermarket wheels I'm considering.

That seems high. I would assume that is either for the wheels and tires, and/or that the packaging material for the wheel added some weight.

Wheel weight depends on how much mud is on them!
