EvilMJ Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 So, I came across these roundy-round wheels on ebay and Speedway's website (cheaper at Speedway): https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Aero-53-184520-53-Series-15x8-Inch-Wheel-BL-5x4-5-2-Inch-BS,91031.html Our bolt pattern, multiple offsets available, 15s, and "designed for vehicles up to 3500#s". Well, we may be a bit over the "designed" limit, but we aren't running 80 mph in circles bouncing off walls! lol I have a full set of Pitbull Rockers I took off my truck needing wheels... what do you guys think? There are several different models, colors, sizes, etc. (I just took the pic of the black Aeros), but they get down to about $120/ wheel.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I wouldn't see an issue running them on an off-road rig. As long as it's not super loaded down with gear and your not bouncing off rocks too hard. Looks like they only have a beadlock on one side tho? I'd be more weary for an on-road rig, bead locks are illegal for road use in most places anyway but hitting a pothole at speed could be an issue with an overweight vehicle. I have seen vehicles in videos and TV with Aero branded wheels, never really heard a review on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMJ Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Kind of my thoughts all the way around. My rig weighs around 4300#s, but I tote around a 35" spare, extra fuel, and a fabbed bed; I'm not putting it under heavy stress however. They would be for my offroad tires. They are only one-side beadlocks, but its the side that takes the abuse. Plus, you can only run a tire "off" the outside lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 you can run them no problem. how thick is the ring though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMJ Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like inners are 3/16, outers are 1/8 from what I can find checking replacement rings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMJ Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 I know, but it's about like a standard steel wheel. Replacement rings avail. If becomes an issue, could have machine shop make thicker replacements. I'm not one to destroy my rigs off-road; I usually drive to-and-from unless it's a long ways away. I've never damaged a wheel on my CJs or my Defenders... just thought these would be nice when airing down in the soft stuff. Need the wheels for my other tires and these are as cheap as a set of standard steelies... Just trying to get everyone's input - I appreciate you chiming in!
