Wheel Finish
Title
Standard on Every 9AND3 Wheel
Knurled Inner & Outer Bead Seats
Every 9AND3 forged wheel is machined with knurled bead seats on both the inner and outer edges of the barrel. The precision-cut grooves grip the tire bead under extreme side load and at reduced air pressures — giving you the confidence of a beadlock without the added weight, hardware, or street-use restrictions.
Outer bead seat knurling — precision CNC machined
Inner & Outer — Both Seats Knurled
Most wheels knurl only the outer bead seat, if at all. 9AND3 machines both the inner and outer seats, doubling the contact grip between the tire bead and wheel.
Run Lower PSI Without De-Beading
Airing down increases your tire's contact patch on loose terrain. The knurled grooves keep the tire bead locked in place at reduced pressures where a standard wheel would slip or de-bead.
No Beadlock Needed
Beadlock wheels require hardware maintenance and add significant weight. Our knurled seats deliver comparable tire retention — zero added weight.

Ring Style Guide
Select the tab that matches your wheel style to compare ring options.
A smooth, continuous simulated beadlock ring with no cuts. Clean, classic look — no water drainage slots.
Precision-cut slots around the ring allow water and debris to drain from the lip — ideal for off-road and muddy conditions.
A solid, uninterrupted removable ring. Clean look with no cuts — the ring can be swapped for a different finish or color.
The removable ring features cut-out slots for water and debris drainage. Same swappability as the smooth ring — plus off-road drainage performance.
