Decide if the Battle Born 2.2 Kilo beadlock wheels fit your crawler build. We break down the 0.8-inch clamp ring, tire sizing, and who should skip them.
Quick answer
Buy the Battle Born 2.2 Kilo wheels if you want officially licensed beadlock wheels with a 0.8-inch clamp ring and you already run 2.2 tires with a matching bead. Skip them if your tires need a different clamp width or you prefer a simpler non-beadlock wheel.
The 0.8-inch clamp ring is the deciding spec
The Kilo wheels use 0.8-inch molded clamp rings. That measurement is the width of the ring that pinches the tire bead against the wheel, so it directly affects which tires mount cleanly and how much sidewall support you get. Before ordering, check your tire's recommended beadlock ring width; a mismatch can make seating difficult or leave the bead less secure than intended.
What you get in the box (and what you don't)
Each set includes two front faces, two rear rings, two anodized slotted beadlock rings, two 0.8-inch molded clamp rings, a screw kit (VPS05000), and an instructions sheet. The catalog listing does not state a wheel width, offset, or weight, so if those numbers matter for your build, confirm them with Vanquish before buying rather than assuming.
Color choice and the licensed look
These are officially licensed Battle Born Wheels with a slotted beadlock ring design, so the visual details are part of what you're paying for. Color is the available option, which means you can match your build's accent scheme. Keep in mind that anodized finishes can show scratches from rock contact more than raw aluminum, so choose accordingly if you crawl in abrasive terrain.
Decision rules for the Battle Born 2.2 Kilo
- Match the clamp ring to your tire: If your 2.2 tires specify a 0.8-inch beadlock clamp ring, the Kilos are a direct fit. If your tires call for a wider or narrower ring, choose a different wheel rather than forcing the bead. Measure or look up your tire's beadlock ring width before ordering.
- Confirm the missing specs first: The listing does not state wheel width, offset, or weight. If your build depends on those numbers, ask Vanquish for them before you buy; if you only need a licensed 2.2 beadlock wheel, the included hardware and instructions are enough to proceed. Treat unlisted specs as unknown, not as a default.
- Choose color with terrain in mind: Pick the color you want for the build, but remember anodized rings can show rock rash. If you crawl sharp granite often, a finish that hides wear may serve you better. Color is a durability decision as much as a style one.
