Absolutely love these but believe these are bead lock.

Was going to get them but was reading that you shouldn't be driving too much on the road with bead lock wheels.
They are not beadlock.

Sorry, new to this world. This is my first Jeep/truck and beyond excited.

These are listed as off-road wheels. Fine to keep them on the road too?

Pavement/off road ratio would be 80/20

Yea, the "off-road" is a marketing thing. I would guess 80% of these wheels out there will never see so much as a dirt road.

You mentioned bead lock wheels. Only a few of those are DOT approved for street use. I wouldn't worry about it too much as actual bead locks start in the $350 each range and go up quickly from there. Not what I think you are shopping for.

Just picked up mine on Monday. Gobi Sport S with Max Tow and Nav. Absolutely love it. Had to drive from San Diego to Redlands to get it and I had to snap it up (deposit) while still "in transit" because I lost a few waiting for it to show as "on dealer lot". Paid sticker minus the $3500 rebate. Have wanted a Jeep since I sold my 87 Wrangler 30 years ago! It was a frustrating process with all the dealerships and finding the exact one, but it was worth it!
It's replacing my 1985 VW Westfalia which is irreplaceable, but it's a great compromise.

Ride quality is smooth. Steering input is smooth. Drives like a pickup truck, not a Jeep. I only have about 400 miles on lift so far. Mostly highway but some gravel. No offroad. The shocks that came with the kit in my opinion are what really makes the ride smooth. My truck originally came with a 1” level kit, which made the steering want to wander a little on the highway. The 4 control arms for this kit allow you to correct the geometry and the steering stabilizer (extra $250) which in turn makes the ride amazing. I don’t intend to rock crawl which the lift is not intended for. This lift for the price is well worth the money. There is plenty of clearance and with the wheels I chose( offset etc) 37x12.5 would clear with plenty of room. My 315/70r18’s are equivalent to a 36x12 and once they wear out I’m going with 37’s. Your only concern will be your gears. I have the max tow which has the 4:10’s.

Just found this thread! Glad to see so many Gobi fans!
i got mine just over a week ago... could NOT be happier!

I’ve done a few small mods so far... tonneau, antenna... small stuff.

Looking forward to looking over this board and being a member of the club!

So I purchased the Mopar touch up pen for my gobi from Quadratec. Yes I know it’s a Jeep and it will get scratched eventually but I purchased it not too long ago and want to keep it nice for now. For some reason the pen does not match my paint. It’s more of a Gator color, but the pen does say gobi and the correct gobi part number. Did I did I do something wrong?
