JConcepts Colt 1.9” beadlock wheel

Coming from JConcepts is their new Colt 1.9” beadlock crawler wheel. The cleverly designed beadlock alternative for 1.9” tyres features 8 triangle spokes that provide a Wagon look which is perfect for vintage builds and trucks that need a raw muscle look of the 1970’s and 80’s. Dipping into the assembly, the Colt wheels assemble from the inside out and include an inner pinch ring which helps lock the two halves together. The outside of the wheel has the 12mm hex already blended into the design while supplying a sturdy wheel offset capable of taming an assortment of terrain. The final look arrives after the completed assembly is secured on the truck and the center cap is placed into position with included screws. The center cap covers all wheel nut and fitment territory and leaves the look of the wheel clean and stylized. The wheels are molded in a durable material and they come as pairs.
