How did you get inventory for the bronze? I've been trying all week. I only can get the matte brush gunmetal. lucky you

 

The person at Discount tire put me on hold and called for availability, said they should ship from Black Rhino in 10-14 days. We will have to wait and see.

 

Hope it happens. Take some pics and post them up =)

 

One thing if you didn't know.... the Black Rhino wheels are awesome looking, but are a lot heavier than stock. Gas mileage and handling will suffer.

I was going to get the Black Rhinos, but got the Raceline Shift wheels instead because they were lighter than stock!

 

Is this lifted or stock height?

Ever since I put the running boards on, my point of reference has been wonky.

 

I found this about stock wheel weight

Weight of OEM Wheels

Anyone have the exact weights of the OEM wheels? I'm interested in the weight of the 18" on the Premium and the 20" on the Limited/Touring. If you also have the weight for the 18" on the Base as well that'd be helpful too. If this has already been posted somewhere I apologize, I looked around...

Who do you trust with the weight of the Black Rhino wheel?
Black Rhino says29 lbs
Discount Tire Says 32lbs

I also thought of getting the Raceline Swift but I was concerned about the tint coat in place of color paint coating.

Kevin, where did you get your mud flaps?

 

Sorry for assuming..... all the Black Rhino wheels I looked at were in the 35-40lb range. Those are actually light for Black Rhino wheels!

My Raceline Shift wheels are 22lbs. They have held up excellent under abuse. Off roading, towing, etc. Only issue I had was one of the wheel caps busted through because someone at the dealership tightened the nuts down too much when they rotated my tires. Haven't ordered a replacement yet (as you can see in the lifted photo).

I have the long RokBloks Mud flaps.

I put my winter tires (Blizzak DM-V2) on the stock wheels last week, so now I have the Summer tires waiting for the Black Rhino wheels to get off the boat.

They guy at Discount tire has now said they will arrive from Black Rhino to Discount tire in 30-35 days, around the first week in December.

Did you get the Arches? Pics? I'm thinking about doing the same on my '23 Ascent. Curious how the handling is & what kind of mpgs you're getting with those wheels. Any issues?

 

@shooter33 the posted date was from November 2021, he may not respond. If you are interested in the same application, I could do some digging for you if you would like.

 

I know, but I want feedback from someone with my setup to see how they like it.
