A driver told me a tractor is 500 lb lighter with 10 aluminum rims vs 10 steel. Is that true?
Weight steel vs aluminum rims?

Keep your truck as light as possible, there are plenty loads where you'll be just under the legal limit

I also read somewhere like 500lb weight saving is like carrying 5000lb less. Don't know if it's true..

I found a wheel web site and it said 49-53lbs a wheel less with aluminum. So, 500 lbs is about right. How much more with super singles?
