The billet X1 wheel is billet. It would be lighter than cast.

See this where I'm confused! I've been told billet is stronger buy heavier. And I would assume it would be lighter too? Guess the only way to find out is to put them both on a scale.

Aluminum vs Cast metal ? I think the billet may come in lighter. Would be interesting to see the difference.

Yes

cast aluminum might be cast a little thicker, so it'll be be heavier, but probably not by much. I think they do that to make it stronger, but I suppose it depends on the quality of the casting.

Yepper stock wheels are cast! Billet is much stronger which is the route I'm going, I was just curious as to which is lighter. Not like it really makes a difference just always wondered is all

Well I talked to RC Components where I ordered my wheel from. They said the billet wheel will be a few pounds heavier than the stock cast wheel. So there we have it!
