Reviews for Quadratec Hardrock Wheel for 07-24 Jeep Wrangler JL, JK & Gladiator JT
Exactly what i wanted; stock look with the proper specs for a larger tire.
Wheels really set off the looks of my ‘09 Rubicon.
We wanted the factory look, but something able to better accommodate 35s. These are perfect. Will add the Jeep center caps later to finish off the look.
Really nice wheels ! Satin black paint was perfect. My wife loves them on her 2016 Sahara. Mounted up 285/70/17 nitto ridge tires and no rubbing. Spare fit perfect on stock mount also.
I bought five of the Quadratec Hardrock Wheels in Gun Metal as part of the Wheel & Tire feature on Quadratec's website (for my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK on 2 inch Mopar lift). Wrapped them with 35x12.5R17 BF Goodrich AT KO2's and added the ORO-TEK OSC-8214S-R Generation II TPMS Sensors for 11-20 Jeep Vehicles. The mounting and balancing was FREE as part of the package and on the initial test drive after installation, the ride was smooth, the TPMS sensors registered and indicated correctly (and quickly - within 2-3 miles) and the tires extend just to the edge flares (maybe a tad beyond) - just as advertised. Very impressed with the one stop shopping on this package. It's painful in my area to find a shop to mount and balance 35's and most places charge $30 or more per tire to take a shot at getting a decent balance. The price of the tires was competitive with other online stores, plus free shipping, plus free mount/balance and there was no charge for the TPMS sensor install. When the Quadratec Hardrock wheels went on sale...I was sold! Will definitely go this route again.
OEM CENTER CAP?? - I initially planned to install my stock Jeep center caps in the Quadratec rims, but upon installation, the color matched end caps that came with the rims looked pretty sharp so I left them on. Lucky me. As I was writing this review, I figured I'd do a test fit to know my options in the future just to be able to speak to the varying reviews on whether they fit or not (including a Quadratec Q&A response that said they will fit). What I can tell you from first hand experience is the factory center cap from a 2015 Jeep JK Sport S Moab-style rim will NOT fit. In fact, they will pass cleanly through the center cap hole in Quadratec Hardrock rim as they are clearly a different size. The OEM cap is notably smaller than the Quadratec cap. If your heart is set on using your factory Jeep caps, you'll need to clear up the discrepancy with Quadratec or fall in love with the caps that come with the rims. As I noted, the new caps are clean and look great, so I have no issues with the OEM caps not fitting.
Quadratec's customer service is awesome and assured me this wheel/tire combination would fit my lift and vehicle configuration - they highlighted this combination in their video as well as validated my concerns via email that this was perfect backspacing and clearance for up to 35" tires. CONFIRMED - They fit perfectly, no clearance issues, and I have some space to spare in fact.
The look is awesome, the all-around stance is perfect and the shipping via LTL freight was well coordinated and timely (even over the New Year holiday period).
The tire/wheel combination arrived securely packaged on a pallet with clearly noted "Fragile/No Top Stack" markings and tightly wrapped to keep the package from shifting. Delivered to my residence (delivery driver dropped the pallet in my garage for me). Delivery required a signature and inspection, but there is an option the freight company offered for a waiver of signature/unattended drop off - but i'd recommend you be present for the delivery just to inspect the package.
Purchase order paperwork from Quadratec was attached to the bundle if you need a hard copy receipt...when making a purchase at this price point, it was comforting to see the quality control, and care in delivery Quadratec adheres to with this type of deal. Including a Quadratec sticker at the very least would've been a nice gesture though...just sayin' - maybe next time (ha!).
This is the way to go when you need both wheels and tires (as well as TPMS sensors). So glad I went with Quadratec on this one.
Thanks Quadratec, you guys have made it easy for me to mod my current "fleet" - 98 XJ, 99 TJ and 2015 JK.
Looks good on my hard rock love the original look with a wider stance
285/70/17 no lift sits just right
Perfect backspacing to have the tires barely poke maybe an inch out of fender
Fits well and matches the original.. Great finish
Awesome wheels
love the look of this wheel tires balanced out very good
