Wheels with removable rash rings

[hoag4147]

That Motobilt ring must weigh ten pounds though.

I am curious how much each ring weighs.

I am curious how much each ring weighs.

The website says they're made of 1/8" steel, so not exactly lightweight.

I'm running Vision Nemesis 17x9 with 4.5" BS, bought them from Discount Tire. They have a removable ring (16 bolts, which are included) which is a polymer/resin type of material. I used primer, Mopar Mojito spray paint, and clear coat to paint them myself. Prior to painting, I used a medium and then fine scotchbrite type sanding pads to remove any glaze and then acetone to clean them.

link of spray can you used?

it took a couple weeks to get it, but is the correct color. The Mopar color code is PGE. Also got the Mopar clear coat from them too. The cans are small, not the normal size you'd find at a hardware store. I used four cans of PGE and 2 cans of clear coat for all five rings. It was either 3 or 4 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear coat.

I love those wheels that @limeade has, but I'm just not sure I'd personally like them poking out that far and wished they had a positive offset.

I've looked for wheels for days and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I really do want removable rings, but they all seem to have too much negative offset, or are really heavy. I liked those Black Rhino Duggars that were posted, but they don't make them in an offset that's ideal for a JL, seem like they're still thinking just about JKs when they designed them.

I picked up a single Mopar Simulated Beadlock which has a +12mm offset, which I can live with, and put it on a scale. I've seen wildly conflicting reports of the weight, from 28lbs to 42lbs. ExtremeTerrain's listing had them in the Q&A as 41lbs. On the scale they are 37.4lbs with the rings and screws installed. Not exactly light. The rings themselves are 3.4 lbs.

Limeade's Vision Nemisis are listed at a very light 29lbs. Great price, great looks, light. Hmm.

I might just get those Method Grid's in Titanum and while the rings are not removable, they wouldn't be too hard to unscrew the removable bolts, mask everything, and then paint the rim. The bolts on the Methods are gold zinc, but probably could be replaced with black.

The Mopar ones with a painted ring just look so different and unique from what you see on every other truck.

Not sure if you were still looking for wheel options that can include a removable rash ring. These are Rugged Ridge XHD wheels with the optional rash ring that was powdercoated red.

Great looking jeep and the tires / wheels looks just perfect. What brand tires are these? How much do they stick out from under the fender flares? Would you know how much these wheels with the simulated rings weigh?

AEV Borah JL soec wheel.
17x8.5
+25 offset.
Shipping weight for wheel 30lbs
Shipping weight for ring and hardware 4lbs

In the picture, the stock 285/70R17 KI2s are mounted and the rings plasrlti-dipped red (just to see if I like it and want to get them powder coated or not)

The tires are Milestar Patagonia MT's in 37X12.50R17. I've never weighed the tire and wheel combo, but the specs list the tire as weighing 72 pounds and the wheel as 29 pounds, so 99 pounds total. The rings aren't metal, so that keeps the weight down.

The tires stick out about 3", if I remember correctly. Here's two photos showing from the front and rear.

Awesome! Thank you so much. I am looking for a similar wheel and with 29lbs its great as other simulated beadlocks are way in upper 30's.

I pulled the red plastidip off this morning. Onyx AEV Borah JLs with Onyx Rings.

OP which wheels did you end up with? I’m looking for a similar wheel. I like the idea of the removable ring.

Apologies for the delayed response, we have been in Yellowstone with no signal....we went with the Dirty Life 9303 DT-1. I painted the ring to match the body color. Wife loves them and I think they look pretty good. I can post some pics when we get back home.
