Forgestar D5 headlock weight?

Anyone know the exact weigh of these

17x10 Forgestar D5 beadlock

Threw them on my scale with MT Et Street R 305/45/17 mounted, those tires are supposedly 28.4 lbs, and it came out to 59.6 lbs!

Considering these wheels are advertised usually around 18.5 lbs, something seems very off.

I’ve got the same combo but 18.5 lbs for a beadlock seems low to me IMO. I’d weigh mine for you but I’m already mounted and balanced as well.

No worries my man. I know the feeling. Lol. Do you have the front runners too? I’ve got the 18x5 fronts and those might be 18.5 pounds without the tire.

That sounds more like it.

My fronts are actually 18x8. My boss had a extra set from his car brand new and gave them to me. Ordered 28x6 sportmans thinking they were standard front runners, went to mount them and was the like wtf are these lol.

Decided to keep them since they’ll be a lot more streetable, and I won’t be living at a drag strip in 1e

Those tires are about 31 lbs according to MT. I've had those tires and they are kind of heavy.

Found a figure online for weight of the Forgestar D5 Beadlock 17x10 of 25.85 lbs. Same source says the regular D5 17x10 weighs 20.05 lbs. They also listed the D5 front 18x5 as 18.8 lbs.
