Wagon wheels just look so....authentic, so "Jeep". Gotta love 'em !!

Ironically, many years ago those wheels were replaced with something that was...cooler looking, more shiny, chrome, whatever. What goes around, comes around.

Now you need to put a big Golden Eagle on the hood !! I will forever love that eagle decal.

love it. I won't say anything bad about the other wheels. At least the truck didn't have a freight train grill!!

Interesting point for folks looking to buy these wheels - the center caps now come with a molded in "Q" which isnt shown on their website. I am hoping to swap these out for a retro emblem but still working on my solution there.

Does that Quadratec emblem have raised letters? Kinda looks like it from the pics. I'm curious how ones like mtudb24 got around that. There is a member on the JL Wrangler forum with an all red Sahara that did the same.

So the center caps that come with the wheels now (2026) seem to have a "raised Q'" logo in the insert to the center cap. They didn't back in 2020 when I bought my wheels.

However, if you buy just the center caps (black or chrome) for $7.99, the center cap insert are without that raised "Q". Yes, they are rounded, but don't have any logo in them. So affixing the Jeep decals on them is easy as long as you make a couple relief cuts to prevent bubbling. Once I did that, I put clear nail polish to seal them up so they don't get water under them.

Why the 2026 version of Q tech wheels come with a center cap with a "Q" logo in the insert and the replacement center caps come without a "Q" logo in the insert, I have no idea?

Here is what the Q logo looks like. Growing up on Atari, my mind immediately went to Q*Bert!

When I bought the truck I knew the wheels would be the first things to go. I was on the fence about the red grill inserts but happy it was the stock grill grill at least. I plan on doing a red/orange retro stripe kit and will leave the inserts until I get that installed and then decide if I like them or not.

the Q is a little odd but should be easy to swap in a plane one.

Looks great. I personally hate 99% of the new style aftermarket wheels.

 

[trust]

I too like the new look. I never likes those wheels when they were state of the art but they look spot on your glad

 

[loganjeeps]

Very nice look. You'll be happy with the Baja Legends. I kind of stumbled into them looking for white walls other than BFG ATs and have now run them on two gladiotors.

Ok...I just opened my white retro wheels (same ones from @Quadratec) which I received probably six months ago (long story) and I was surprised to find the name "LYNX" stamped into the center caps. Meanwhile when I ordered, the center caps were clearly shown to be plain / smooth....which is nice because I also plan to the red/white/blue stickers.

I guess it's just random what you'll receive?

I saw someone else mention that as well in another thread. That is random. I did find a plain aftermarket set that had good reviews and will try them out this weekend. I also will likely go with the retro style decals.

I just checked the Quadratec site and they now have updated photos showing the Q.

Thanks. I was initially leaning toward Grabbers and then made a last minute change after more reviews. I think I just like the overall look of the Mickeys better. So far, I am happy. Super quiet tire for what it is. Finally getting some rain in our area this week and looking forward to seeing how they perform there.

I recently got the "Lynx" caps too. Reached out to Quadratec here on the forum and they sent me out a set of blank caps. Kinda seemed like from their response that "Lynx" was going to be the norm going forward. Guess they need more advertising for their in house brand.

I just reached out to customer service to see if they can send me the plain ones. Even my invoice shows the plain ones. I shall see.

Big improvement in my opinion…they look great
