Default FUEL Wheels

Looking to get some fuel mavericks 22x9.5's for my 11' Harley Edition


The couple of questions for those who have these.

I cant seem to get FUEL wheels to return my email asking what the weight of the wheel is. A local vendor seems to think that they weigh about 55lbs each. But another said 45lbs so not sure what they are?? Does anyone know the weights of these? I don't want to put on a 8 or 10lb heavier wheel than stock.


Also has anyone had balancing issues with their wheels? I was told that these are hub eccentric and has hub rings for fords?


Any info would be appreciated as I really like their wheels and would like a set but don't want to have issues that I have had with others wheels in the past.

Seeing how the 20x9 are 37lbs I would say add 5 pounds for the 22x9.5 wheel and 42-45 lbs is probably spot on. As far as balancing issues, as long as you run the ring I have not herd of any problems.

Thanks or the reply. I really like the wheels, just a little concerned why the factory wont respond to my emails? Kinda concerning if you ever have issues when they wont even return a simple email though?

Yes. They replied when I inquired about hub rings being included or not but won't answer the weight question for some reason..

Don't know that I believe them, but Tread Depot shows them as 55 lbs.

I have 20x9 fuel mavericks. I love them. I had 17 for my stock rims, that I still have winter tires on, and just from switching them the mavericks feel about 10 lbs heavier. but I never measured them but I am able to notice a slight difference

Thanks for the replies. Part of the problem is that I contacted three different vendors and got three different weights. One said (about 45 lbs) the other two both said between 50 and 55 lbs. The stock wheel on my truck weighed almost 47 lbs. Not sure I want to add 7 or 8 lbs or even more with bigger tires, the "ole" 6.2 likes gas enough already.
