Adding a new set of Jeep wheels is one of the quickest ways to give your Jeep an upgrade of style and function. These are just a few of the best wheels to get the job done.
No, they don’t add any horsepower, but they’re one heck of a way to make your Jeep stand out in a crowd of other Jeeps. While there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with the wheels that came on your Jeep, there are a number of companies that have put countless of hours into the design of some custom wheels that really make the look of your Jeep pop. Whether they are chrome, polished, have a beadlock ring, or are constructed of steel so you’re not cringing at every little rock ding, there’s a wheel for your Jeep to fit your style and need.
Here are a few off-roader favorite Jeep wheels to choose from.

1. Editor's Choice: Jeep/Mopar Beadlock Capable Wheels
When it comes to Jeep performance products, one of the first brands you turn to is Mopar (the OE performance line) and their beadlock capable Jeep wheels are a great option for your ride. You can turn these stylish looking wheels into tire clamping beadlocks by ordering the lock ring kit (sold separately), and you’re instantly ready for serious off-road action.
2. Rugged Ridge XHD Wheels
We love the look of this seven-spoke wheel—it looks great with all sizes of tires, and Rugged Ridge offers a wide selection of colors and trim. The XHD is designed to fit the current-generation Wrangler JK (2007-2016) and is available in sizes 17×9, 18×9 and 20×9.
3. Cragar Series 342
We’re suckers for the old-school look, and we love this “D-window” wheel from Cragar—it recalls a style popular on Jeep wheels of the 1970s and ’80s, with the modern twist of gloss black paint and red-and-blue pinstripes. The 342 is a steel wheel, so when you compare its cost to other wheels on this list, it’s … a steal!
4. Pro Comp Series 31
We’re not sure what it is about this eight-spoke wheel; we’ve seen others that look similar, but the Pro Comp 31 looks better than most when hung onto the axles of a Jeep, and it’s reasonably priced. As with other wheels on this list, you have your pick of colors, but we think flat black looks best on a Wrangler—though the chrome version looks pretty good as well.
5. Black Rock Series 997
Another victory for steelies: The Black Rock 997 Jeep wheels captures the look found in many alloy rims, but its steel construction gives it a functional, ready-to-work look, broadcasting to the world that this is a real off-roader and not just a brodozer. And the low price certainly doesn’t lessen its appeal.
