    Pros and Cons of lighter rims

    So yea a lot of people say lighter rims are better.... but i really don't understand how to answer this question since there is really no right or wrong answer. What do you guys think?

    lighter is better but also depends on what type of material it is made of and how it was made. lighter could also mean very weak

    If you want light and strong then you'll want forged and lightweight. You might get away with a lightweight cast rim. I haven't had any issues with mine.

    haha I do rub. But that problem is mostly gone when I rolled my fenders. Getting a stiffer rear suspension will completely eliminate it.

    they'll still rub when the springs compresses, just dail in a little negative camber.
