Lightest possible 37'' Tire Combo

We'll have to see how that powdercoat stands up to a rock.

I'm sure the Welds will be lighter, but by a relatively thin margin. This is a wholly uneducated guess, but fun to make. The powdercoat doesn't weigh MUCH..but it has some weight. Keep in mind its probably only 3-5 Mils thick. Thicker than paint, but not so thick as to add a ton of weight.

My crystal ball will tell me that both sets will be relatively light compared to any other wheel/tire combo considering the light weight of the KM2s.

Powder and metal both perform poorly vs. rocks. Powder can be touched up with a rock hit vice scratching with metal and the Weld black coating. BUT, metal can be polished. Give or take. I'll probably touch them up in between tire sets every couple years.

with the 8.5" width, you may not hit rocks with them. The tire pushes out farther than the wheel in most cases.... They might be perfect when you strip the tires.
