Pro Comp Wheels Wheel model
Pro Comp Wheels Series 97
The Series 97 is a rock crawler-type wheel, positioned among Pro Comp's toughest steel models. Steel wheels like the Series 97 are favored for extreme rock crawling and overlanding because they take impacts better than alloy: in a hard hit against a rock, steel bends rather than cracks, which can save an outing. The trade-off is that they are significantly heavier than cast models, which weighs on fuel economy, handling, and unsprung mass. It therefore targets Jeeps and trucks seriously built for technical off-road use, not a style-oriented street setup. In Quebec, steel with a good powder finish holds up well to abusive conditions but remains prone to corrosion if the protective coating is gouged by rocks or salt; you should verify the bolt pattern, offset, and brake clearance for the vehicle.
