Mickey Thompson performance wheels come in three styles, Sidebiter which is styled after one of the best know innovations in off-road history “tread on the sidewall”. Classic II which is like its name, a classic look with a highly polished finish and the Classic lock which is a simulated beadlock wheel which features the same styling as Classic II.
The manufacturing process utilises low pressure casting, providing a finished product with improved mechanical performance, light in weight and with greater density and strength than gravity cast wheels..
Steel inserts are standard on the M/T Classic II & Classic Lock, providing better torque tension and retention and added protection around the wheel stud holes.
Sizes range from 15- 20 inches and the wheels have a lifetime guarantee against structural defects (with conditions).
