How much weight saved with Aluminum Wheels?
Does anyone know how much weight is saved by exchanging 8 steel drive wheels for aluminum wheels?

Super singles will save about four hundred replacing eight steel drivers. Less weight, less sidewall flex, better fuel mileage, and a better ride. Everyone I talk to who has them likes them my next truck will have them.

Too bad they're not legal in all of Canada or I'd be running them.
My rpms would go from 1348 rpms at 60 to 1400 rpms. Perfect for my motor(volvo). It bogs a little too much going up hills right now. Oh well.
