Suicide or light wheel hack?

[LMZ]

Ok so the stock alloy 15 inch wheels are super heavy for the size as I've discussed before like 23 pounds I believe. So what if I cut the extra 5 small spokes lol. Then I dont have to spend 330$ CAD per wheel for neuspeeds etc to have a light 5 spoke wheel.

Thoughts?

Wow the full moon has brought them all out!

I think you're crazy to mess with the structural integrity of the wheel. There are lots of 17-18 lb wheels besides Neuspeed. My Motegi wheels are 17 lbs and cost $150 each.

But 150$ is still alot more than free what do yall think they would break imediately or at certain speed or the first time I hit a pot hole? Lol

Is this a legitimate question? Do what you want to and let us know how it goes.

You’re already saving weight for lack of a brain.

Take the Rotors off, you would save much more weight then.

Stay off the public roads where other people and their families are driving if you attempt this.

If you're ever in Georgia, I'll buy you a beer. We can even go fishing afterwards. We use dynamite for fishing around here.
