Our Rhino with OMF Billet Center Beadlock Wheels -
Rubicon Trail
Information:
Starting with a high
quality 6061-T6 rim shell, OMF uses a CNC machine to mill the center of the
rim shell to accept a new CNC machined Billet Center. The
Billet Center is then bolted in which allows you to adjust the offset of the
wheel depending on how you position the billet center in relation to the
wheel.
All
OMF Performance Billet Center wheels come with an exclusive
Scalloped Beadlock and Inner Reinforcing Ring. This triple threat comes
together to create the strongest and lightest, adjustable offset 12” wheel
around. Not to mention its great looks.
And then OMF adds a Polished Stainless Steel backing plate to cover up unsightly brake rotors
and hubs, and a set of Chrome lug nuts.
These aren’t the cheapest wheels on the market, but they
look great and provide unrivaled strength.
Why Beadlocks?
Traction is key to
being successful on trails like the Rubicon trail. Traction helps you crawl
up and over rocks without slipping and the easiest way to gain traction is
by lowering the air pressure in your tires. Lowering the air pressure will
cause the tire’s contact patch area to become larger. This will provide you
with better traction, floatation, control and a softer ride.
Lower air pressure in
your tires is great, but lowering the air pressure too much increases the
chance of popping a tire bead which will in turn
cause the tire to deflate and possibly peel off the rim. The
solution to debeading is a beadlock wheel. Simply put, a
beadlock is a
mechanical fastening device that literally clamps the tire's
bead bundle onto the wheel rim using mechanical force rather than air
pressure. It holds the tire’s bead firmly in place even under extremely low
air pressure.
