The Grid Off-Road GX3 is a 1-piece forged beadlock wheel from the Grid GX Series, designed specifically for UTV (utility terrain vehicle) and SxS (side-by-side) platforms used in competition, desert racing, and high-speed off-road applications. Manufactured in the United States from T6061 aircraft-grade forged aluminum, the GX3 incorporates a mechanical beadlock ring that clamps the tyre bead to the wheel during extreme tyre deflation — a mandatory feature for UTV competition where low tyre pressures are required for traction over rocks, sand, and loose terrain. Custom finishes are available, including the signature texture bronze with black beadlock ring.
Grid Off-Road's GX Series can be produced in custom diameters, widths, and bolt patterns beyond the standard UTV fitments. Contact the Hodoor World team with your UTV make and model — our specialists will work with Grid Off-Road to confirm the correct fitment specification. We also offer an AI Wheel Design Service if you want a custom spoke pattern or finish concept designed before production begins.
The GX3's beadlock ring is a bolted aluminium ring that mechanically clamps the outer tyre bead to the wheel flange. At low tyre pressures (as low as 2–4 PSI for rock crawling or sand running), a standard tyre bead will unseat from the rim, causing a sudden deflation and loss of tyre contact. The beadlock ring prevents this by physically holding the bead in place regardless of tyre pressure. For UTV competition and recreational rock crawling, this allows operators to run extremely low pressures for maximum tyre conformity over obstacles without risk of debeading.
The GX3 face is machined from T6061 forged aluminum in a single piece, delivering the rigidity required for sustained impact loading in competition environments. The beadlock ring is installed with aerospace-grade grade 8 hardware, with ring bolt torque specifications provided with each set.
The GX3 is engineered for UTV and SxS platforms in competition and recreational off-road use:

Q: Are beadlock wheels street-legal?
A: Beadlock wheels are not DOT street-legal in most US states due to the beadlock ring hardware. The GX3 is intended for off-road and competition use. Check your local regulations before road use. In most international markets, beadlock wheels are permitted on private land and competition events.
Q: How do I torque the beadlock ring bolts?
A: Torque specifications are included with each GX3 set. Beadlock ring bolts should be installed using a star pattern and re-torqued after the first 50 miles of use. Use a calibrated torque wrench only — do not use an impact gun on beadlock hardware.
Q: Can I run the GX3 without the beadlock ring?
A: The GX3 is designed to be used with the beadlock ring installed. Running without the ring is not recommended as the wheel lip geometry is optimised for beadlock operation.
Q: What tyre pressure can I run with the GX3?
A: With the beadlock ring properly installed, tyre pressures as low as 2–4 PSI can be used for rock crawling. For high-speed desert racing, pressures of 8–12 PSI are typical. Always re-inflate to normal pressure before road or highway driving.
Q: Does Hodoor ship internationally?
A: Yes — EU 5–10 days; Middle East 7–14 days; North America 5–10 days; Asia-Pacific 12–21 days. Commercial insurance included.
