Fifteen52 HD Series: The Perfect Balance of Strength and Style for Overlanding
When it comes to outfitting an overland rig, wheels are more than just a styling choice—they play a critical role in performance, durability, and reliability. After running both the Range HD and now the Traverse HD on our Bronco Raptor, we can confidently say that Fifteen52’s HD Series is an excellent choice for any off-road or overland build.
Why We Chose Fifteen52
We’ve run wheels from Method and Fuel Offroad in the past, but Fifteen52 stood out to us for a few key reasons:
-
Elegant yet rugged design – Their wheels feature clean, bold lines that look great without being over-the-top.
-
Superior durability – Designed for heavy-duty use, these wheels are built to handle extreme conditions without compromise.
-
Infamous bronze tone – Fifteen52’s signature bronze finish is unmatched, offering a unique, refined look that complements any build.
Performance Across All Conditions
We put our wheels through everything—rock crawling, desert running, mud, and daily driving—and the HD Series has never let us down. The Traverse HD, our current setup, has tackled high-speed Baja runs and slow, technical rock sections with ease. Whether we’re airing down for trails or cruising on the highway, these wheels balance form and function perfectly.
Pairing with the Right Tires
A solid set of wheels deserves an equally capable set of tires. We run the Maxxis RZR MT 37x12.50R17, which complements the strength of the Traverse HD. This combination gives us the traction, durability, and load capacity we need for serious overlanding.
Comparing to Other Brands
We’ve run Method and Fuel Offroad wheels in the past, and while they perform well, Fifteen52 brings a unique aesthetic and attention to detail that we love. One thing we’d love to see in the future is beadlock or bead-grip technology from Fifteen52, giving hardcore off-roaders even more confidence when airing down.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
The minimalist yet bold design of Fifteen52 wheels means they don’t have excessive crevices where mud and dirt get trapped. Even after intense trail runs, cleaning them is quick and effortless.
Are They Worth the Investment?
Absolutely. Wheels and tires are one of the most important investments you can make in an overland build. Fifteen52’s HD Series not only looks incredible but also holds up under the stress of extreme terrain and the added weight of overland gear. When you’re miles from civilization, you need gear that won’t fail you—and Fifteen52 delivers.
