ITP expanded its Severe Duty single-beadlock UTV wheel lineup for 2016 by adding 14×7-inch and 15×7-inch sizes. Previously offered only in a 12-inch diameter, the larger wheels provided additional tire options and broader side-by-side fitment.
Announced on November 30, 2015, the larger ITP SD beadlock wheels were designed to provide more inner clearance than the company’s SD Dual Beadlock wheel. That additional space around the hub helped accommodate a wider range of UTV applications and tire-and-wheel combinations.
ITP SD Single-Beadlock Wheel Features
ITP manufactured the SD wheel from a single piece of aluminum alloy, balancing strength with relatively low weight. The design also incorporated the company’s Rock Armor reinforced outer wheel lip to help protect the wheel in rocks and other demanding terrain.
A mechanical beadlock ring secured the tire’s outer bead to the wheel. This allowed riders and racers to run reduced tire pressures for improved traction while lowering the chance of pulling the outer bead away from the rim.
- One-piece cast-aluminum construction
- Single outer beadlock
- Rock Armor reinforced wheel lip
- Additional inner clearance compared with the SD Dual Beadlock
- Matching six-spoke ITP center cap
- Two-year limited warranty against bending or breaking when announced
ITP Severe Duty Wheel Sizes
With the two additions, the SD single-beadlock lineup included three wheel sizes:
- 12×7 inches
- 14×7 inches
- 15×7 inches
The 14×7-inch wheel carried an original manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $147.73, while the 15×7-inch version was announced at $178.27. These are historical prices from 2015 and should not be treated as current retail pricing.
More Clearance and Tire Options
The move to 14-inch and 15-inch diameters reflected the rapid growth of the sport UTV market during this period. Larger brake packages, greater hub-clearance requirements and a growing selection of tall UTV tires were making larger-diameter wheels increasingly useful.
ITP also positioned the wheels for racing applications where strength, bead retention and reduced rotating weight could all affect reliability. The company said the new sizes were expected to reach dealerships in late December 2015.
