Wheel 14x7 D-Hole 4x 4.25in 1in BS Black

The Bassett Wheel 14x7 D-Hole 4x 4.25in 1in BS Black is a purpose-built off-road wheel engineered for serious terrain and recovery operations. With a 14-inch diameter and 7-inch width, this steel wheel delivers the structural rigidity required for high-stress applications including vehicle recovery, tactical transport, and extreme off-road duty. The 1-inch backspace and 4x 4.25-inch bolt pattern provide proven fitment compatibility across common light-duty platforms, while the black powder-coat finish offers corrosion resistance in harsh field conditions.

Specification details matter in critical applications. The D-hole design reduces rotational weight while maintaining load-bearing capacity—a distinction that directly impacts acceleration, braking response, and fuel efficiency during extended operations. The eight-spoke architecture distributes stress evenly across the rim, reducing failure points under dynamic loading. At 18.4 pounds per wheel, this component integrates into fleet systems without excessive unsprung weight penalty. The powder-coat finish is rated for extended exposure to moisture, mud, and salt spray, making it suitable for coastal and wet-climate deployments where standard finishes degrade rapidly.

This wheel serves operators and teams requiring reliable off-road mobility: law enforcement tactical units managing rough terrain access, search and rescue operations on unprepared surfaces, and private security operations in remote areas. The 14x7 footprint balances tire sidewall flex—essential for absorbing impact on rock and rut-laden terrain—with adequate load rating for heavily equipped vehicles. Users deploying this wheel in field conditions typically pair it with aggressive all-terrain tires for maximum ground contact and traction during dynamic recovery or patrol scenarios.

Bassett wheels are manufactured to support both OEM and aftermarket applications where factory wheels present liability or performance limitations. The 4x 4.25-inch pattern is common on compact SUVs and light trucks used in tactical transport roles, making this wheel a direct-fit replacement or upgrade path without suspension modification. Each wheel ships as a single unit, allowing staged fleet replacement or repair-kit inventory management.
