Mickey Thompson Wheels - Just Jeeps

Since the 1960s, Mickey Thompson wheels have featured innovative designs with features such as performance handling, good puncture resistance, etc. The company’s dedication to performance tires is no secret. The accomplished Mickey Thompson and fellow racecar driver Gene McMannis have been designing and developing tires for all of the renowned racing events, including Daytona and Indy 500.

The tires are available in different sizes and styles and feature varying tread depths, widths, and diameters. Heavy-duty models are available for Jeeps. They are all made with advanced tire technology and engineering to deliver a quiet ride and off-road traction.

If you want a quality tire, you need a quality wheel to go with it.

Here’s an overview of popular Mickey Thompson wheels.

Deegan 38 Pro

Just recently released, the Deegan 38 wheel series features a race-inspired, multi-dimensional eight-spoke design. Available in 15 to 20 inch filments, depending on whether you get the Pro 2 or Pro 4, these wheels are designed with a 2-stage matte black finish. The pop-top center cap is logo-crested. Both the Pro 2 and Pro 4 are compatible with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The Pro series is designed for street trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps.

M/T Metal Series

The M/T Metal Series line is available in four different designs and five styles for truck, Jeep, and SUV enthusiasts.  These heavy duty wheels are affordable and feature a durable black powder coat. The center cap is embossed with the Mickey Thompson name stamped onto the face. Several options are available, including the original eight-hole wheel, the 10-hole D-Window wheel (MT-88), and the popular 15-inch, 16-inch, and 17-inch sizes. The exclusive 17×9 size is ideal for late model trucks with large brakes. The heavy-duty steel construction ensures that the wheels will last a lifetime.

Classic Baja Lock

This series features some nice looking wheels with a simulated bead lock design. The bead lock styling is finely machined and is coated in a protective matte finish, complete with the M/T logo. Classic Baja Lock wheels are street legal with a competitive look.  They have a high load rating and hut centering ring capabilities for late Chevy/GMC application.

Classic III and Classic III Black

An oldie, but goodie, the Classic III is available in popular 15-inch, 16-inch, and 17-inch sizes. It offers a high load rating for hauling and a lot of style. A greater number of fitments allow you to dress up your vehicle. The 8-hole design features a 2-tone, non-corrosive screw-on center cap. You can choose between a polished aluminum finish and satin black finish. A smooth outer lip gives this wheel a clean look.

Mickey Thompsons’ revolutionary “tread on the sidewall” tire design is the inspiration for the SideBiter II. It’s built for heavy duty performance, and features a satin finish that’s easy to clean and maintain. Like the other wheels, the Sidebiter II has the M/T logo embossed on the center cap. The high-strength, low-pressure casting guarantees that it will last for a long time. The wheel is designed to use bulge corn lug nuts.
