The SandStars/Redlabels=17.6lbs
The Hiper/haulers=15.8

Now, I did weigh these on a bathroom scale. So, They weights may not be on the money, but you get the picture.

Philys21, I got them directly through Blingstar. I ordered them in the begining of Feb. It took about 6 weeks to get them. I am glad I went with them though. As I think they are the best looking nerfs out there.

IMO the weight you saved was in the tire. Those hipers more than likely weigh more than just red labels. You have to compare the hipers to other beadlocks. That's where you come out ahead in wieght and strength. I weighed my stock fronts at 16 and the rears were 16 also. I then weighed my hipers and klaws and the fronts were 16 still but the rears were 20. They are 9" dual beadlocks though and the rear 18" klaws are about two inches taller than stock and about an inch wider.

Very interesting...my blue labels with the 9 paddle gliders are at 12lbs rears...blue label and mohawks on the fronts are at 10lbs...food for thought...I know my beadlocks are 10 a tire heavier...but I wonder what a beadlock with a glider would weigh?...not sure I want to go through all the effort to find out... :lol:

Yes, you are correct. Hipers do weigh more than red labels. And Sand Stars weigh more than Haulers. I was just comparing my old tire/rim combo to the new one. I know I could have saved alot more weight going in another direction, but I was set on hipers. And am happy with the results.

 

[SandJunkie]

Hell yes...you better be happy...looks sweet...what made you decide on the knobbies on the fronts instead of some razors or mohawks?.. :blink:
