@DCPU out of interest - where did you find that picture? Do you have a link?
Thx

Scroll down the page until you get to the "Explore the Grenadier".

I got to the page from a link in an email dated 2nd September from Ineos titled "The Grenadier joins this year’s BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy".

That's making me consider the 18s again

if you don't need to air down for a beach then definitely go for the 18s

I saw those wheels for the first time at the Game Fair and thought how much better in the flesh than they did of the configurator.

I have ordered the Trialmaster so I am certainly not paying any extra for them but it didn’t stop me thinking how nice they looked and made the steel wheels look a little naff tbh.

Any chance of getting the width? Is it 7.5 inch like the steel versions?

I'm at The Welsh Game Fair tomorrow, Sat and Sun so I'll ask the guys down there.

Yeh I highly doubt it's a real beadlock.

Here in Australia beadlock rims are illegal so 100% sure that at least for ours and I assume all of them it is fake, just for decoration

How do the Hummer H1s get road registered with beadlocks?

How to the Hummer H1s get road registered with beadlocks?

The Hummer (HMMWV) uses a take-apart wheel system which is DOT certified. They were typically manufactured by Maxion who, ironically, is the wheel supplier for the Ineos Grenadier. Hutchinson, also a military supplier, manufactures a similar wheel for the civilian market under their “Rock Monster“ brand.

Learn how the internal double beadlock technology system works in Hutchinson's DOT approved, street legal Rock Monster Wheels.

Yes ~ my question was how are they then legal in Australia?

On a side issue, I didn't think DOT certified or approved anything. It's up to the manufacturer to ensure they meet the legal requirements and then mark their goods "DOT compliant".

Been wondering about side step vs rock slider myself. In real life, these side steps seem much more convincing than they look on the online visualiser... perhaps Ineos tightened them up a bit?

I have side steps on the Defender (110) and they've been fine for overloading... so this is my preference. A cheaper option on the IG too.

My concern was the initial impression (in the visualiser) of a too-large gap between the step and the bodywork, with the potential to snap ankles in the wet.

But looks pretty good here ...

Do you know if the Alloy wheels are 7.5 inch wide like the steel ones? Would be great if they were 8 inch wide

@Camskii
17" Steel - 7.5" Wide with a 55mm positive offset
17" Alloy - 7.5" Wide with a 55mm positive offset
18" Steel - 8" Wide with a 55mm positive offset
18" Alloy - 8" Wide with a 55mm positive offset
