392 is so new...will be hard to find someone that already has the switch.

Look on the JL Wrangler forum. And Facebook marketplace.
I’ve seen a couple sets listed.

There was a set near me that sold for $1000. I would be all over that.
Depending on offset since they are going on Mojave with a different offset.

I think they look great. Best factory wheel jeeps makes.

I have them on my Gladiator. When I was considering these I was concerned they may not be up to the load capability of the Gladiator. Then I thought if they can withstand the torque of the Hemi they should be up the load carrying capacity of the Gladiator.

ive seen this thought process a couple times now about how much weight the rim can handle. but I cant find anything on it, and not one seems to know the actual numbers. Do you have anything on this?? I have a set of JL Rubi rims im going to get put on in the nect couple weeks and it would be good to verify that they wont buckle...though I dont actually believe they will.

So, I think they are a handsome rim, but even though they have the beadlock “look”, I had thought that these were just another rim with that “look”, and no actual beadlock compression. So, are they functional or faux finish? Thanks!

If you buy the actual beadlock ring for them they are functional, straight off the 392 it's just beadlock capable

I don't have actual numbers. The rubi wheels are used with Gladiators that have the tow package option so the designed capacity has to include the weight of the vehicle, whatever is put in the bed plus up the 6000 pounds being towed ,also, I imagine they are designed with some offroad abuse in mind.

the best ive found was a website that talked about the wheels being designed to handle, at a minimum, the axle GAWR /2.

Which for the JT is 3,750lbs, so 1,875lbs per wheel.

The JLUR has a GAWR is 3,000lbs so 1,500lbs per wheel.

A 375lbs per wheel difference is a significant difference on the surface..

BUT im going to lean on the fact that Im way out of my depth here and im absolutely sure the JLUR rims will be fine with my JTMT, even when towing. Pretty sure there is a mess of owners that have used JLU rims without issue. I also dont have the wheels in front of me at the moment so Ill be taking a look when I get home to see if there is a rando number less than 1875 on the back...I have seen that some wheels have it cast into them somewhere in the mess of stuff on the inside of the wheel its self.

These do not have the optional bead lock. The functional beadlocks are around $200/wheel. For the foreseeable future these will be faux.

I hear you. Hopefully someone with this expertise can offer some wheel capability comfort. I think we will be safe.

Looks great appreciate it!

I found a set of 5 take offs wheels and tires bfg a/t factory size with tpms brand new for $2k. Might be jumping on it in couple days. Thanks for feed back and thoughts-insights

Not mounted, just leaned up for comparisons sake. Should give you a color perspective.

You are wise to consider this.

Think about all the aftermarket rims currently on Gladiators that the owners and probably tire shop has no idea of load bearing. I personally haven't heard of rim failure due to load on a smaller truck.

The Willys tire/rim package is the exact same on the JL and JT. There is no two different style rims.
