The Face Behind The Forging
Built From
The Ground Up
Utah. Off-road. 10 years of Raptors.
The Origin
Why I Started 9AND3
I've owned four Ford Raptors over the last decade. Not as display pieces — these trucks get used. Desert trails, canyon runs, backcountry Utah roads that chew up lesser vehicles. After years of searching for wheels that could keep up without compromising look, I kept coming up empty.
The off-road wheel market was full of heavy cast options or overpriced billet pieces designed for looks over performance. Nobody was building a fully forged wheel specifically for the guys who actually push their trucks.
So I decided to do it myself.

The Community
@raptorsofinsta
Before 9AND3 existed as a brand, it existed as a lifestyle. Running @raptorsofinsta on Instagram connected me with one of the most passionate truck communities on the internet — Raptor owners who take their builds seriously, who actually hit the trails, and who care about quality over clout.
That community shaped what 9AND3 became. Every design decision, every finish option, every spec we obsess over — it comes from years of being in the trenches with people who know what a wheel needs to withstand.

Right in the backyard of some of the most brutal and beautiful terrain in the country. Moab, the Uintas, the West Desert — this is where the wheels get tested in the real world.
Designed for Real Use
Every wheel starts as a 6061-T6 aluminum forging — lighter, stronger, and more impact-resistant than cast alternatives. These are made to take a hit and keep going.
100% Custom
No warehouse. No generic fitments. Every order is made to spec — your vehicle, your finish, your dimensions. That's the only way to do this right.
"I built 9AND3 for the person who doesn't settle — the one who actually uses their truck, who sweats the details, and who wants a wheel that matches the effort they put into the rest of their build."
