Wheels define the vehicle.

It is the same idea as shoes completing the outfit in the fashion world.

While the original factory Jeep wheels look amazing and Jeep engineers are very deliberate with the styling to match the purchased trim level, the only problem is thousands of vehicles share this exact factory look. And it is very hard to customize the look of your Jeep without changing its wheels.

The Lynx Peregrine Wheels can take your Jeep’s look to the next level.

The most obvious trait about these wheels is six smooth and arced spokes that radiate from the deeply recessed center to the outer rim. These spokes are not very wide, allowing for a clean and open negative space where the brakes and calipers can be seen. The spokes grab the outside of the wheel with a subtle design of three slightly indented areas.

This open design also provides unobstructed access to the valve stem, which makes airing tires up or down a breeze. Additionally, almost any style air hose chuck can be used without interference.

Peregrine wheels are 17x9 inches to accommodate larger and wider tires without worrying about losing a bead when aired down and utilize a 5x5 bolt pattern — making them Wrangler JK and JL, or Gladiator JT specific. The hub-centric wheel is engineered with lightweight, high-strength aluminum and offers a generous 4.5-inch backspacing which provides an aggressive look by pushing wheels and tires slightly out from under the Jeep. Lynx wheels include a snap-in center cap with the Lynx logo.

Design and dimensions are one thing, but aesthetics really make Peregrine rims stand out as you can choose from three color combinations; gun metal, satin black or machined black.

The gunmetal gray and satin black retain a clean, all-one-color, design. The machined black allows a silver accent to show on the foremost surface of the wheel around the circumference, accentuating the design at the end of the spokes as a contrast to the remaining black.

These durable Peregrine wheels join the ever-growing Lynx lineup of attractive and affordable products, and meet SAE J2530 standards and DOT requirements while featuring a limited lifetime structural warranty.

Pros:

  • Unique look
  • Multiple colors — gunmetal, satin black and machined black
  • Unhindered valve stem access
  • Lightweight, durable machined aluminum
  • Slightly wider to accommodate larger tires
  • Deeper offset provides more aggressive, eye-pleasing stance
  • Meets SAE J2530 standards and DOT requirements
