The whole purpose for replacing those old and stodgy looking stock rims with aftermarket custom wheels is to make your rig stand out from the rest.  However, if you are of the opinion that just changing them out for another style of chrome wheels that looks just like all of the rest them you are dead wrong.  However, you will be able to draw the eyes of everyone around when you add a set of these flat black alloy wheels by Pro Comp to your rig.

The Series 7069 wheels made by Pro Comp are a component in the world famous Pro Comp line of Xtreme Alloy wheels.  They start out being blocks of raw aluminum alloy that is aircraft grade.  They are then cast using a low pressure, state of the art casting system that gives them superior style and strength while allowing them to remain lightweight.  When all of this has been done they are given a powder coat in flat black so that they have a blacked out sort of style.

Pro Comp Alloy Wheels Series 1089


In the early 1990s Pro Comp got their start by making suspension components that were tough enough that they could outlast any other suspension components either off or on the road.  Pro Comp decided not to chase the trends such as hydraulic setups and building scrapers.  Instead, they focused on making the suspension systems that were able to tackle the hottest tracks and the roughest trails.  It didn’t take any time at all for that particular strategy to pay off and garner them a fan base of devoted gearheads.  Now, people who want to save their ride quality as well as their off road credibility eagerly await the next Pro Comp innovation. 

Pro Comp is able to maintain this well-earned reputation because they combine trailblazing technology with real world tested materials and the very best team of engineers in the suspension business.  The engineers at Pro Comp are not just your ordinary geniuses, they are geniuses who love performance.  These guys go beyond the lab tests and take their creations out in the real world and test them.  Places like the Mojave and the highways of LA are just two of the places where you might find a Pro Comp engineer testing something new.

Series 1089

These wheels made by Pro Comp have been engineered in such a way that they pack a powerful visual punch.  The design might be the classic 6 spoke one but there are things like a bead lock perimeter and clean grooves that give that classic look an aggressive attitude.  Additionally, it has been polished until it has a mirror finish that will be sure to turn heads no matter where you are.

Pro Comp doesn’t cut corners when they make these Series 1089 wheels.  The aluminum alloy they use is aerospace grade and then they actually carve it with a casting technique that is low pressure and cutting edge.  This gives the wheels a strength that can’t be matched.  The 1089 wheels have a high offset too which creates all kinds of clearance so that you can even use them with the beefiest brake systems.  Oh, and they come with a lifetime warranty on the structure.

·         New lug nuts are recommended but are sold separately

·         These wheels are sold individually and come in a wide variety of bolt patterns and sizes

Pro Comp Alloy Wheels Series 7031


Pro Comp did not make the decision to branch out into wheels until 2001.  They had started making their own tires in 1998 and wheels was just the next logical step for them to take.  By making both wheels and tires, both lines would be supportive to each other.  Right from the beginning, Pro Comp decided to make both aluminum alloy and steel wheels.  This decision was based mainly on the fact that they wanted to provide the customers with an option of buying wheels that are tough enough for the trails while giving them a proper price range to choose from – steel is cheaper than aluminum alloy.

When Pro Comp got its start back in 1992, they focused on making suspension systems that would fulfill the needs of those demanding off road enthusiasts.  They then branched out to other related areas such as shocks, tires and now wheels.  That said, Pro Comp hasn’t forgotten that they are a manufacturer of suspensions first and foremost and they continue to push the envelope with their innovative and exciting suspension systems.

Series 7031

Nothing looks more ready for the off road than bead lock rims that are pinching monster meats.  It must be said though that or your morning commute or even for light trail driving, bead locks are akin to hunting a squirrel with a bazooka – massive overkill.  However, with an 8 spoke, split design and the black powder coated finish as well as the accent studs that have been machined in order to provide that bead lock look, the 7031 Series wheels give you that off road style you crave in a package that is commuter friendly. 

Like every alloy wheel that Pro Comp makes, this wheel has been cast using a low pressure, high tech casting system.  They are made from chunks of aluminum alloy that are aerospace grade.  By using this particular material in conjunction with the casting technique, you get a wheel that is lightweight yet ultra-strong.  For the ultimate style, they have been finished with a powder coat in flat black. 

These wheels are perfect for high performance SUVs and trucks.  They feature a very high offset so that they can accommodate most big brake kits.  They come in a variety of sizes, spacings, bolt patterns and offsets so that they will be a perfect fit for most brake setups and tire sizes.  To top it all off, the matching center caps are included and the wheels are covered by a lifetime warranty on the structure as well as a 2 year warranty for the finish.

Take a quick look at these wheels and you will instantly see why dealers have a hard time keeping them in stock.

 

Pro Comp Alloy Wheels Series 7069


Pro Comp was founded in the early 90s as a company that built the kinds of suspension systems that you need for hard core off road warriors.  They weren’t about building skyscrapers or even those nifty little hydraulic suspensions but were focused on those systems that were able to conquer the hottest tracks and the roughest trails.  Before too long, that strategy proved to be the best one for them to have and they quickly gained a following of gearheads.  Now, you can find true off road warriors eagerly awaiting the newest innovations coming from the Pro Comp factory.

Pro Comp keeps their hard hitting reputation that they worked so hard to earn by combining premium materials that have been real world tested with technology that is ahead of its time and the best team of engineers in the business.  These aren’t just geeky genius engineers either, they are engineers who love nothing more than performance and they can be found testing their own creations in places like the Mojave Desert and the highways of LA.   

Series 7069

Pro Comp Xtreme


A Bit of History

Pro comp was formed in 1992 as a company that manufactured after-market suspensions for off road vehicles.  They have continued that until now and will continue manufacturing and marketing them in the future.  In 1998, they added tires to their line of suspensions.
 
Tires

Because of the fact that they had already been making suspensions, Pro Comp knew exactly what type of tire was needed to go with their suspensions.  Pro Comp was well aware of the types of terrain that their drivers were going over and they knew what kind of tire it would take to stand up to the challenge of even the most daring of those drivers.  Pro Comp’s challenge then began to be the making of that tire.

Pro Comp Xtreme

In their research into what types of materials would make the most rugged of tires to go with their suspensions, the Pro Comp Xtreme was born.  There are basically two categories of Xtreme tires.  The first is the Xtreme all terrain radial.  These have a 3 ply build.  They also feature a tread design that is super aggressive.  The second class is the Xtreme Trax Radial.  These tires are quite unique in that they have a directional tread pattern.  The benefit of this is that it offers both a smooth and a quiet ride no matter what the terrain.  These were specifically designed for a UTVs side by side setup. 
 
Availability

Pro Comp Xtreme tires can be found in a plethora of places.  If you want to buy locally, then go to the Pro Comp web site to locate an authorized Pro Comp dealer near you.  If you choose to order by catalog, you can order the catalog while you are on the Pro Comp web site.  Also, while you are there, you can find a listing of online dealers you can buy from.

Warranty

All Pro Comp Xtreme tires come equipped with a warranty.  This is to protect both you and Pro Comp.  When you purchase your tires, if you purchase them at a Pro Comp authorized dealer, they should inform you of all warranty information and also register your warranty.  If you purchase online or through a catalog, warranty information should come in the packaging with your tires.  Read this information carefully to fully understand the limitations and details.  If your warranty needs to be registered, please do this immediately.

Pro Comp Wheels


Pro Comp was formed in 1992 to provide after-market suspensions to the Jeep and off road world.  They succeeded greatly.  Their suspensions and lift kits are now widely accepted and even requested.  After about 6 years, they expanded to add tires and wheels to their product line.
 
Now, chances are, if you have a 4x4 or off road vehicle that you have added an after-market suspension or lift kit to, you want larger wheels and tires for your vehicle.  I mean really, isn’t that why you wanted your vehicle jacked up in the first place? 
Pro Comp knows this and has created wheels and tires in whatever size you need to turn your ride into your dream machine. 

Wheels

Pro comp wheels are for those of you who want the after-market larger size wheels and tires that are required once you add a lift kit to your Jeep, truck or 4x4.  You can get them in a variety of sizes but most of them only come in two finishes: stainless steel or black.  Pro Comp also offers all of the wheel accessories that you would come to expect from a manufacturer who produces suspension and lift kits, wheels and tires.
