Weight of rims (range)
What is the weight of 20x9 rims? I know many factors play a role but like a low to high range is what I am looking for. Thanks

Weight is dependent on brand - Vossen, ADV1, BBS, Method all have light weight rims. First 3 are super expensive, upto 2000 per single rim. If you want to improve suspension performance and improve HP delivered to wheel, stick to the smallest possible rim size ....which is 17".
For example, a 17" Method Roost rim weighs 24lbs, which isn't bad.....and if you study tires.....something like a Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in that size weighs around 40lbs, which further adds to weight savings, compared to say......a KO2 which weighs 50-55lbs per tire in the 17" size.
I couldn't get the G2 in time, so I opted for the KO2 with the 17" Roost.....quite happy with it...i go off road a fair bit.....so I choose the heavy KO2.....otherwise the G2 or Falken Wildpeak AT3 would have been my first choices as they weigh less

maybe it's just me that doesnt give a **** about the looks of 20" rims, Of course as you know, each pound saved/added....on a wheel/tire...adds multiples of pounds on unsprung weight which directly affects your suspension and hp delivered.
Hope that helps.

The stock 20" ford alloy rim weighs 43lbs. Which is heavy.....by far........that's not counting the tire on it.
