BBS Forged Heritage Wheels vs Stock Cast Alloy 16'-21' - Unsprung Weight (1 Viewer)

[lostonaroad]

The discussion I'd like to start is centered around the 20'-21 Heritage Edition BBS Forged wheels and the benefits of them as compared to the standard 16'-21' Alloy wheels as a true OEM upgrade.

At face value here are the details I could gather below on the weights from both:

2016-2020 Stock 18" wheel weighs 32.8 lbs (Cast Alloy)
2020-2021 BBS Heritage Edition 18" wheel weighs 27.6 lbs (Forged Alloy)

If these are correct weight numbers there is a potential unsprung weight loss of 5.2 lbs per corner, a significant amount. Adding heavier tires like most of us it would still offset/minimize the weight gain. Less unsprung weight, less wear on all other drivetrain components.

For 2K~ it seems like one of the few true OEM upgrades for 16+ non Heritage Edition.

Thoughts from the community??

Your weights look right.

The TRD Pro Tundra's wheels are the same but in black and another good option. Most people like a different offset to push the wheels out a bit.

For those who choose to put the Tundra front control arms on, the BBS wheels are one of the few options where we don't need to worry as much about the scrub radius.
