Dick Cepek
The new Dick Cepek Torque is a machined aluminum wheel designed for newer trucks and SUVs that require a higher offset, additional brake-caliper clearance, and the ability to use the factory TPMS. It's available in 16- to 22-inch sizes and features a machined outer lip, a flat black finish, a satin clearcoat, and a coordinating center cap.

KMC
KMC's XD Series Enduro Beadlock is suitable for both competition and recreation. It's available from 15 to 17 inches; the 17-inch models are designed to accept inner liners. Enduro Beadlocks are made from counter-pressure cast A356-T6 aluminum with 6061-T6 aluminum beadlock rings. They come standard with 36 Grade 8 bolts and washers. Most custom applications can be built to order.

DWT
DWT's AlumaLite Competition Beadlocks are engineered for Jeeps, sand buggies, and desert trucks. They're spun from 6061 aluminum and have 0.190-inch-thick, heat-treated billet centers to ensure uniform strength and durability. 15- and 17-inch diameters are available in a variety of widths and offsets.

The V-drive is one of the latest truck and SUV wheels by MB Motoring. This one-piece aluminum wheel is available in 15- through 22-inch sizes in both black machined and chrome finishes for most applications.

Eaton
Eaton makes heavy-duty two-piece steel wheels. The company still offers 16.5s, in 12- and 14-inch widths. Eaton's Extra Heavy-Duty Beadlocks (shown) use 32 bolts. They're handbuilt to the customer's backside specifications. Fitments are 15-inch diameters in popular five- , six- , and eight-lug patterns as well as in a 6x8 1/2-inch bolt pattern to fit most 21/2-ton axles. Finish is black powdercoat.

Mickey Thompson
The new SideBiter wheel from Mickey Thompson is engineered to be a heavy-duty performer. Manufactured using a low-pressure casting process, the SideBiter has impressive load-capacity specs. It comes with a limited lifetime guarantee and is available in 15-, 16-, and 17-inch diameters.
