ROCK ‘N’ ROLL: Aftermarket Off-Road Wheels
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Many of us have just ridden out one of the harshest winters in recent memory. The snow is mostly melted now, and the wet trails are finally drying up (although they’ve been left a bit worse for wear). What this situation calls for are highly capable aftermarket off-road wheels that can shrug off any potentially damaging blows the terrain tosses at them.
Before you head out on the trails, treat your rig to a new set of aftermarket off-road wheels and tires. A quality set will keep you and your passengers safe and also give your ride a fresh new look. To get you started, here’s a selection of some of the hottest wheels out now.
Fuel Off-Road/Warp Beadlock
The Fuel Warp features a concave, solid, 5-spoke design with pocketing around the lip, as well as Fuel Off-Road logos cast into the face of the wheel. Available finishes include candy red, matte black and matte bronze with black ring. The Warp comes in 17- and 20-inch sizes and is available in 5- and 6-lug fitments.
Mamba Wheels/M27
With a unique mesh-inspired design, the M27 was built to take on any road or trail. Available in 5- and 6-lug options, the M27 comes in 17×9, 18×9 and 20×9 sizes.
WARN/Jackhammer
WARN Epic Wheels are a perfect fit for the Wrangler JK, JL or Gladiator JT. Available in a 17×8.5 size with a 5×5 (5×127) bolt pattern and 0 offset, these hub-centric, high-quality, cast-aluminum wheels come with a choice of black or gunmetal powder coated finishes for a top-notch look and excellent corrosion resistance. The wheels are TPMS-compatible and work with factory lug nuts.
Black Rhino Wheels/Abrams
With the burliest and toughest design elements of all the Black Rhino truck wheels, it was only fitting that the Abrams wheel be named after the heavily armored M1 Abrams tank. An aggressive, deep lip is available on all 17-, 18- and 20-inch fitments to enhance the look of any heavy-duty off-road truck. These wheels are exclusively engineered for 5×127 Jeeps and 8-lug trucks in a negative ET-18 offset only.
KMC/KM100 Sync
The KM100 Sync wheel is a split, 5-spoke style accented by removable gold zinc star head bolts around its rim. It’s available in satin-black finish with optional gray tint. Part of KMC Wheels’ Offroad Tech Series, the KM100 wheel is characterized by its all-new, interchangeable center cap, detail ring and design-integrated lug cover plate.
Mayhem Wheels/Voyager 8303
The Mayhem Voyager is flow-formed for performance-enhancing weight savings and robust durability. It can take the punishment of off-roading, yet it possesses a refined look for the streets. These wheels are available in 17×8.5-inch diameter and in dark bronze or matte black finishes.
American Force Wheels/M17 Sentinel HO
The American Force Wheels M17 Sentinel HO is a high-offset wheel that’s available in a standard polished finish or in a choice of many custom finishes. The M17 Sentinel HO is offered as a highly customizable wheel for many vehicle applications.
