Jeep rims

Jeep rims - overview

Rugged, versatile and stylish off-road and on the road

Jeep is a car brand with cult status. For decades, the name has stood for off-road capability, a thirst for adventure and design with a strong character. Models such as the Wrangler, Renegade, Compass, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee or the new Avenger combine powerful all-wheel drive technology with an unmistakable appearance. The rims play an important role in Jeep vehicles - they not only emphasise the robust appearance, but also have to meet the technical requirements off-road and on the road.

Original Jeep rims

The original Jeep rims are designed for stability, load capacity and design. They meet the highest standards in terms of off-road capability, braking performance and compatibility with assistance systems such as the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Particularly on models such as the Wrangler or the Grand Cherokee, rims are not just an aesthetic accessory, but a functional component of off-road performance.

Jeep offers original rims in various colours and designs:

• Silver painted - classic and easy to clean for standard equipment

• Matt or gloss black - particularly popular for off-road and Trailhawk editions

• Graphite or bronze - modern look for special models

• Bi-colour rims with polished surfaces - for a sporty, classy touch, e.g. on the Compass S or Grand Cherokee Summit

Many original rims are specially designed for use with all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres, which is particularly important for Jeep models with genuine off-road genes.

Aluminium rims from well-known manufacturers for Jeep models

If you want to give your Jeep a personal touch or optimise it for specific purposes, you will find a wide range of high-quality alloy wheels from well-known manufacturers on the aftermarket. These rims offer both visual customisation and technical advantages such as weight reduction or improved off-road properties.

Renowned brands for Jeep vehicles include:

• Borbet - robust, everyday rims with clear designs

• Ronal - classic look combined with high quality workmanship

• AEZ and DOTZ - eye-catching wheel designs for a dynamic appearance

• Alutec - modern designs at an attractive price-performance ratio

• Black Rhino - specialises in off-road rims with a particularly high load capacity, ideal for Wrangler or Gladiator

These rims are available in finishes such as matt, glossy, polished or painted and are usually offered with ABE or ECE approval.

Common inch sizes and offsets of Jeep rims

Depending on the model and intended use, the inch sizes and offset depths (ET) differ considerably:

• 16-inch to 17-inch rims: for classic off-roaders such as the Wrangler or Renegade

• 17-inch to 19-inch rims: for Compass, Cherokee or Avenger

• 20-inch to 22-inch rims: for luxurious or sporty equipment of the Grand Cherokee

The offsets on Jeep models are typically between ET 30 and ET 50, whereby lower ET values are often selected for off-road setups with wide tyres in order to achieve a wider track and better fill the wheel arch.

Design variants of the Jeep rims

The design variety of Jeep rims ranges from functional to eye-catching:

• Five-spoke rims - classic and robust, ideal for off-road and everyday use

• Double-spoke rims - sporty and modern, suitable for Compass or Cherokee

• Y-spoke rims - light and elegant, popular with city SUVs such as the Renegade

• Beadlock-inspired off-road designs - particularly used on Wrangler conversions

• Turbine and multi-spoke rims - classy and technical, especially with premium equipment

Jeep rims combine technical robustness with design sophistication - whether for urban adventures or demanding off-road tours.
