Default Pro comp 2 wheels??

Are these too heavy for the yetis drive line? Will I break a lot more parts than SLWs? I bought a set of used wheels which the owner claimed were SLWs, but 2 were the pro comp. They are much heavier, will it strain the motor more?
Thanks!

Not a good choice for the Yeti. The rotating mass will likely cause issues.

So what would make an adequate replacement over stock if one wants to avoid the expense and weight of all metal? How do the SLWs stack up? Do they hold a bead any better than stock?

SLW's are all aluminum and a good choice. The KMC, Method, OMF wheels from Vanquish allow for a narrower track width and are the best choice for that reason. However they are spendy.

There are plastic options available as well. I used the Crawler Innovations 6-bolt wheels with great luck as well.

Mr. HARLEY, will the Crawler Innovations 6-Bolt wheels work with the VP Knuckles? Thanks
