My bad...I was thinking these were the wheels that you told us were discounted.

The MB72 has been discontinued in all sizes but we still have stock available in 16". We are completely sold out in 15".

Nitto does not offer their Terra Grappler in any 15" sizes at this time.

Okay...got it. I guess I was right.

Can you send me a quote with:

16x8.5 MB72 (x 5)
Nitto Terra Grappler AT 33's...what size would that be? (x 5)
with TPMS

Discount Tire- I know you had a lot written up on 15" being the sweet spot- weight, cost, tire options, etc. How does going 16" stack up in your testing?

I'm on a Wrangler Sport S (17" Moabs standard), so with a Dana 30 up front, I am still hoping to benefit from smaller-rim weight savings when I go up to 35" tires. If 15" still seems the way to go, I'll probably wait for the Trackers in -19mm.

The 16x8.5 MB72 weighs 21lbs and the 315/75-16 KM2 weighs 65lbs. This gives you a combined weight of 86lbs. The 15x8 Tracker weighs 20lbs and the 35x12.50-15 KM2 weighs 62lbs which gives you a combined weight of 82lbs. The 15" combination is a little lighter but the big difference is in price. The 15" Tracker combination (5 wheels, 5 tires, lugs, rubber valves, and the JK member discount) comes to $1705.00. The 16" MB72 combination comes to $2335.00.

That's the ticket. Big price and a little weight savings (and bigger weight saving over my current 17"!!).

Yeah, I don't hate the Tracker, I just really loved the look of those 15" MB72 in silver! I think I'll be making an order pretty soon. Thanks for all the info.
