LISTEN HERE AND WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO HERE

GRAMMY®, BRIT, Golden Globe, and Oscar-winning artist and songwriter Sam Smith announces, “To Be Free: San Francisco,” an eight-night residency at the Castro Theatre, a designated landmark in the heart of the city’s LGTBQ+ cultural epicenter. Kicking off February 10, 2026, Sam’s rare, up-close performances will officially ring in the venue’s eagerly awaited reopening following two years of renovations. To mark the announcement, Sam has shared a soul-stirring cover of the 1971 Bill Withers classic “Ain’t No Sunshine” set to a video filmed at the beloved theater and in the surrounding Castro District. Watch HERE. “To Be Free: San Francisco” goes on sale Tuesday, October 7, at 10 a.m. PT. See below for all dates and visit https://www.samsmithworld.com/#live.

The series is a continuation of Sam’s upcoming residency “To Be Free: New York City,” which begins on October 8 at Brooklyn’s historic Warsaw club. With the New York City residency kicking off next week, Sam is appearing tonight on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a sit-down interview. They’ll also return to the show tomorrow night, Wednesday, October 1, as the featured musical guest. The initial run of 12 shows for “To Be Free: New York City” sold out immediately, prompting Sam to add 12 additional dates at the intimate venue stretching into November and December.

Sam’s cover of “Ain’t No Sunshine” is both stunningly beautiful and rich with meaning. Over raw acoustic guitar, they begin the song: “Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone / It’s not warm when he’s away.” With their unmistakable voice, Sam gives a haunting performance that captures the chill of loneliness, while the accompanying video brings immense warmth. We first see Sam inside of the Castro Theatre, scaffolding still in place. Soon, we’re out on the streets of the Castro District, meeting friendly faces from the community. By the end, Sam has led a small celebratory parade of folks to the iconic theater marquee, and stepped into the box office to tear tickets themself.

Said Sam Smith, “ I LOVE San Francisco and The Castro especially has been so central to the Queer community here over the years. These shows will also celebrate the official reopening, so it’s truly an honour to become part of this iconic venue’s history.”

Both residencies take their name from Sam’s soaring new single, “To Be Free.” The soulful acoustic song, which explores how vulnerability can unlock bravery and freedom, includes moving vocals by The TwoCity Chorus and came with a joyous, (LA)HORDE-directed music video filmed at Warsaw — watch HERE. The song has since earned critical praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone (“Sam Smith feels light as a feather”), Billboard (“one of their most striking songs in years”), and Stereogum (“heartstring-pulling … immensely powerful”), among others.

Sam recently shared their thoughts on the song, which was produced by Sam and Simon Aldred: “I’ve never had a recording experience like I did making this song. It’s one vocal-and-guitar take from start to finish — one live performance of me and my friend Simon in a pure state of music and expression. I wrote it five years ago while writing my last album, Gloria, and then parked it because I knew it was not a song for that album. It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself. Over the last five years, Simon and I started to create music that fit into this world of ‘To Be Free’ and during this time, I’ve continued to turn to this song in happy moments, sad moments, lonely moments, and angry moments. It’s become my sister, my family member, and it ultimately calms me. Hopefully, it can do the same for someone else.”

Another Planet Entertainment’s The Castro will be a fittingly timeless home for the West Coast installment of the To Be Free series. Built as a movie palace in 1922 with an interior designed by one of San Francisco’s most prominent architects, Timothy Pfleuger, the captivating space swirls up an array of worldly influences and includes stunning original artwork on the ceilings, famous sgraffito murals along the walls, and an ornate chandelier, among other features. All of that has been restored as part of a $40 million rehabilitation project that’s also opened the venue up for standing-room music performances and facilitated the installation of “the world’s largest and most versatile digital organ.”

Sam Smith is one of the most celebrated musical artists to emerge in recent history. A five-time GRAMMY® winner, Sam holds two Guinness World Records — one for the most consecutive weeks in the U.K. Top 10 Album Chart (with their 2014 debut In the Lonely Hour), and one for having the first James Bond theme to reach No.1 on the U.K. charts (the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning “Writing’s on the Wall”). Sam has amassed over 40 million equivalent album sales, 300 million single sales, and over 56 billion career streams across their catalog of critically acclaimed albums: In the Lonely Hour, The Thrill of It All, Love Goes, and Gloria, which Rolling Stone praised as “their deepest album yet” and includes the global smash “Unholy” featuring Kim Petras. The track spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and four weeks at No. 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart, making it Sam’s eighth to top the tally. In June 2025, Sam released the stunning live album BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.

NFL + YouTube Flag Football in London

Music stars Aitch and Gunna Named Captains, Leading NFL Legends, Global Artists and Top YouTube Creators in First UK Creator Flag Football Game Fans Can Tune In on October 11 on the NFL’s YouTube Channel and Buy Tickets on Ticketmaster UK

The NFL and YouTube announced a star-studded roster for “NFL’s Flag Football Game on YouTube: London Edition,” marking the debut of the Creator Flag Football series in the UK as part of the NFL International Games.

Building on the success of the inaugural Super Bowl LIX Flag Football Game on YouTube, the league is bringing the excitement overseas with a flag football showdown at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday, October 11, ahead of the New York Jets vs. Denver Broncos game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, October 12. Showcasing the NFL’s commitment to growing flag football globally and connecting with fans worldwide, the flag football game brings together top talent from across sports, music and YouTube, including music stars Aitch and Gunna who will serve as captains. The action kicks off at 7:00 p.m. BST and will stream live exclusively on YouTube.

Team Gunna will be quarterbacked by global flag football star Diana Flores, have NFL icon Chad

“Ochocinco” Johnson join as wide receiver, and feature a roster of YouTube Creators Deestroying, Khaby Lame, Speedy Morman, Jamie Laing, Sam Thompson, and Nella Rose, alongside additional surprise guests. NFL Legend Ryan Fitzpatrick will take the field for Team Aitch, joined by an exciting lineup including Adam W, U.S. flag football player Ashlea Klam, Tommy Fury, SV2, Jay Cinco, Mabel, and European women’s flag football champion Phoebe Schecter.

“Following the success of our Creator Flag Football Game at Super Bowl LIX, we’re excited to bring that same mix of culture and competition abroad to London for the first time,” said Ian Trombetta, NFL senior vice president of social and influencer marketing. “With NFL Legends, global creators and music stars like Aitch and Gunna all sharing the field, we’re creating an experience that’s unique to the UK, while connecting with fans across the globe through our YouTube live streams to continue fostering the growth of flag football.”

“I’m ready to bring my energy to the field and lead my team,” says Gunna. “It’s great to team up with the

NFL and YouTube on something that brings people together.”

“When the NFL asked me to be a captain, I was gassed,” said Aitch. “Seeing how American football has blown up in the UK has been crazy, and now I get to play on the field with some of the best athletes, creators, and entertainers around the world.”

“Nothing I love more than the NFL and YouTube, so being able to combine the two has been a dream partnership for me,” said YouTube creator Adam W. “It’s also nice to see my subscribers are loving it just as much as me! I’m hyped to go to London, watch some football, and score some touchdowns myself in the flag game!”

Kay Adams will kick off the night with a live pregame show, streaming exclusively on YouTube starting at 7:00 p.m. BST. She’ll take fans behind the scenes with players, from stylish arrivals to locker room moments, giving an insider’s look before kickoff.

During the game, NFL icon Andrew Hawkins will deliver play-by-play highlights, while British TV host and radio DJ Maya Jama and YouTube creator Duke Dennis provide insights throughout the action.

“Bringing together YouTube creators, incredible artists, and NFL legends for this flag football game ensures an unforgettable spectacle. This event, a thrilling live show for London and an exclusive global stream on YouTube, perfectly embodies our mission: making pivotal moments in sports and culture universally accessible,” Alison Lomax, Managing Director of YouTube UK and Ireland.

Verge Next Revolutionizes Manufacturing

Verge Next Technology Platform Revolutionises the Manufacturing of Scooters and Mopeds and Is Now Available to All Manufacturers of Two-wheelers Worldwide

The first scooter making use of the Verge Next technology platform will be displayed in Milan at the EICMA trade fair in November.

Technology company and electric motorbike manufacturer Verge Motorcycles’ B2B unit Verge Next seeks to further the electrification of traffic and to assist the manufacturers of two-wheelers to create better and more innovative products. Licences for Verge’s seamless technology platform featuring ground-breaking technical solutions are now available worldwide. This is a combination of components and software on top of which a powerful electric moped or scooter can be built much faster and more cost-efficiently than what is currently possible.

“The Verge Next technology platform is the answer to the wishes of industry operators, but it is also a significant opportunity to move towards lower-emission mobility. We launched our Verge Next unit last spring, and we have already received dozens of contacts from businesses interested in using the devices and technology that we have developed. Indeed, partnerships have already been established with some operators, and some of our customers are telling us that they will incorporate our solutions into their upcoming models in the near future”, says Verge Motorcycles CEO and Verge Next unit lead Tuomo Lehtimäki.

Either a complete platform solution or individual components

The primary component of the Verge Next technology platform is the donut motor integrated into the wheel, which has garnered enormous interest among electric vehicle manufacturers and is now available for even smaller two-wheelers. 12-inch motors are available at various power ratings all the way from 2 kilowatts to 15 kilowatts, depending on the vehicle type. The maximum torque generated by the 12-inch donut motor varies between 80 and 350 newton-metres, depending on power. In addition to the motor, the platform includes a battery module for small vehicles developed by Verge, a software suite for controlling the system, and multi-functional, clear display screens.

Because all the components of the Verge Next technology platform are integrated for seamless interoperability, they form the perfect package. However, Verge Next components also work excellently as standalone components, and a manufacturer can easily incorporate a donut motor into a scooter built using traditional mechanisms.

The first scooter built on the Verge Next technology platform can be viewed at the EICMA motorcycle trade fair in Milan on the 4th to 9th of November. The Verge exhibit is in hall number 9, stand M80.

Battlefield 6 Main Theme by Henry Jackman

“Battlefield 6 Main Theme” sets the tone for Jackman’s bold, cinematic score reflecting the scale, chaos and adrenalin rush of EA’s Battlefield 6 – one of the most anticipated video game launches of the year. “Battlefield 6 Main Theme” is out now on all major digital platforms.

Battlefield 6 (Original Video Game Soundtrack) is set for release on October 10, 2025.

Their track, “Making Love to Morgan Wallen,” already #1 on multiple charts including Billboard’s Hard Rock chart–the band’s first #1 since 2011–has been hailed as “deliciously weird” and “a classic Bizkit banger,” delivers a surprising pop-culture collision to the soundtrack. The album also includes the bombastic “Battlefield: The After-party (ft. Limp Bizkit)” an unexpected and electrifying collaboration between Jackman and the band.

STANLEY TUCCI FOR N.PEAL: THE ART OF TRAVELING

AW25 CASHMERE CAPSULE COLLECTION

Watch

A journey in cashmere, where craftsmanship meets the cultured traveler. British luxury cashmere house N.Peal announces an exclusive collaboration with award-winning actor, style icon, and passionate traveler Stanley Tucci.

The Stanley Tucci for N.Peal AW25 capsule collection, entitled The Art of Traveling, reimagines the modern man’s wardrobe through the lens of Stanley Tucci’s enduring passion for craftsmanship and timeless elegance on the move. Created in collaboration with Tucci and guided by his deep appreciation for refined materials and functional design, the 13-piece capsule is a sartorial tribute to the joy of wanderlust. “As a boy, the idea of international travel was thrilling to me. Movies like North by Northwest epitomised the Golden Age of Travel, when the journey was just as exciting and luxurious as the destination. That sense of adventure is something that has always stayed with me,” says Stanley Tucci.

“Since then, travel has become a huge part of my life, and this collection was inspired by the kind of pieces I always reach for when I travel: reliable, timeless, and beautifully made. The exact pieces N.Peal excel at making.

THE COLLECTION

Drawing on N.Peal’s renowned heritage in luxury knitwear and Stanley Tucci’s own refined sensibility, the collection features elevated cashmere essentials, and, with a subtle nod to Tucci’s own heritage, fine Italian fabrics, all curated to travel well and wear beautifully. N.Peal CEO, Adam Holdsworth, comments, “Working with Stanley on the collection has been a joy. His innate sense of style and eye for detail align perfectly with our passion for making beautiful garments rooted in quality and craft. “The collection has been designed with the modern traveler in mind, but it also carries Stanley’s distinct tone: warm, intelligent, and quietly elegant.”

The AW25 palette is understated yet rich: navy, chocolate brown, olive, ochre, pebble grey, arabica khaki, and dark charcoal, with accents of ‘Tucci orange’ – a subtle signature hue woven into trims and finishing details. Colors that have special meaning for Stanley Tucci. “The inspiration came from the colors my Dad used in his paintings: subtle colors, complemented by bold splashes of color,” says Tucci.

In a playful twist, the collection also features cashmere travel socks, where the Tucci color palette comes to the fore. “We wanted to elevate a travel essential into something joyful, but still luxurious,” says Adam Holdsworth. “Lightweight, yet warm, they are perfect for long-haul flights or relaxed hotel evenings.”

THE CAMPAIGN

Starring acclaimed Academy Award Nominee, Emmy, and Golden Globe winning actor Stanley Tucci, and entitled The Art of Traveling, the campaign was shot aboard an iconic British Pullman train. Set within the distinguished Art Deco interiors of the train, the campaign highlights the enduring appeal of British heritage and expert craftsmanship in alignment with N.Peal’s dedication to timeless style, sustainability, and luxury.

The campaign, produced by Salt Productions, blends a cinematic series of images with compelling content. Matt Holyoak, who is renowned worldwide for his authentic and captivating portraiture, captured Tucci’s journey across the UK. “Collaborating with Stanley Tucci and this extraordinary team has allowed us to bring our vision to life in the most iconic of settings. An evocative homage to timeless elegance on the move, reimagined for today,” says Adam Holdsworth, N.Peal CEO. From tailored outerwear to laid-back luxury essentials, each piece in the collection is a study in understated elegance.

Celebrating The Art of Traveling, the Stanley Tucci for N.Peal AW25 capsule collection will be available from September 2025 at N.Peal boutiques worldwide, online at www.npeal.com, and exclusively at MR PORTER.

Lamborghini + The Italian Sea Group

Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group present the new Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT motoryacht

The motoryacht expresses its Lamborghini essence through distinctive lines and bold aesthetics, ensuring an exclusive nautical experience

At the Monaco Yacht Show, Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group presented the worldwide premiere of the new Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT. The collaboration between the two companies began in 2020 with the launch of the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, which paid tribute to the year the House of Sant’Agata was founded and was a huge success among enthusiasts.

The new 101FT, named for its length of about 30 meters, embodies the synthesis between two companies that are worthy of representing Made in Italy excellence on the global level. Distinguished by high technological and design value, the project was conceived with the aim of creating an unrepeatable experience for those who drive the motoryacht, just as it is for Lamborghini customers. The model stems from the synergy between the two brands, combining the technical and engineering excellence of The Italian Sea Group with the distinctive aesthetics and innovation typical of Lamborghini’s super sports cars.

Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, comments: “With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we are taking Lamborghini’s DNA to sea: performance, design, and innovation come together in a motoryacht that redefines the concept of nautical luxury. It is not only a yacht, but an affirmation of Italian excellence. The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini share an exclusive clientele, who are passionate about beauty, technology, and extreme performance. It is exactly this shared vision that makes our collaboration so natural and so significant.”

In fact, luxury, design, and innovation are the keywords that define this prestigious yacht that exalts the excellence of Italian industry. The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT features some of the most appreciated iconic elements of Lamborghini design and lines. Starting from the exteriors, inspired by the new few-off Fenomeno¹ – produced in a limited edition of just 29 cars – presented in a worldwide premiere in August at Monterey Car Week. In addition to the color – the Giallo Crius used for the launch livery –, other elements inspired by the Fenomeno include the front and rear lights, which take a cue from those used on the car from Sant’Agata Bolognese. But it is the whole of the exterior lines that possess the unmistakable, iconic and essential hallmark of the brand, where every detail combines the maximum functionality with the utmost aesthetic purity.

The yacht’s helm station also clearly draws inspiration from the cars of Sant’Agata Bolognese, particularly the Temerario², Lamborghini’s “fuoriclasse” hybrid V8 HPEV. This means that being at the helm of the 101FT gives the same feeling as being behind the wheel of a Lamborghini super sports car.

The interiors have an affinity with those of the models of the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese in terms of colors, stitching, and forms. In fact, the iconic Lamborghini elements onboard include hexagons, clean lines,

The vehicle is not yet offered for sale and is therefore not subject to Directive 1999/94/EC. The fuel consumption and emissions data is in the type approval stage
Temerario: Combined energy consumption: 26,8 kWh/100 Km plus 11,2 l/100km; Combined CO2 emissions: 272 g/km; Combined

CO2 efficiency class: G; CO2 class with discharged battery: G; Combined fuel consumption with discharged battery: 14 l/100km and the “Y”-shape. The yacht can accommodate up to 8-9 guests and has three crew cabins, ensuring spacious and comfortable environments that make even the longest journeys pleasant.

Mitja Borkert, Design Director of Automobili Lamborghini, remarked: “With the new Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT motoryacht, we aimed to create a product that embodies the main design characteristics of our super sports cars. All the details, from the exterior to the color, to the interior areas, recall and are inspired by Lamborghini’s DNA. Our Centro Stile, in operation for twenty years at Lamborghini’s historical headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, worked with the utmost care to ensure that every element was studied in meticulous detail and reflected the brand’s unmistakable style.”

From the technical perspective, the 101FT is equipped with three powerful MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, combined with three surface propellers, which make it possible to reach a top speed of 45 knots and a cruising speed of 35 knots. These performance figures are supported by a total output of 7.600 horsepower and two 35 kW generators, ensuring efficiency and reliability in every condition.

The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT was presented in a scale version in an exclusive premiere during the press conference at the Monaco Yacht Show, the most prestigious showcase of the international nautical panorama. The definitive model will set sail at the end of the 2027.

CxM (SEVENTEEN) DROP 1ST MINI ALBUM ‘HYPE VIBES’

Watch 5, 4, 3

CxM (SEVENTEEN), comprising members S.COUPS and MINGYU, unveiled the highlight medley for their 1st Mini Album HYPE VIBES today, providing a glimpse into genre-spanning 6 tracks ahead of its arrival on September 29.

Opening true to form, the highlight medley kicks off with a hip-hop track “Fiesta”—blending an additive flute melody and kitschy talk box—that sets the tone in the unit’s own rhythm with their confident and cool demeanor. The clip takes a more uplifting turn with the lead single “5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz),” a disco-infused track that creatively interpolates Roy Orbison’s timeless hit “Oh, Pretty Woman,” capturing the raw emotions and thrill of a romantic encounter through candid, straightforward delivery. Rising Gen Z artist Lay Bankz features on the track, adding a fresh twist to the romantic sound.

The medley continues to showcase snippets of 4 additional tracks spanning diverse genres, offering something for every listener to celebrate the colorful, electric moments of the present: “Worth it,” a hip-hop track driven by deep 808 bass and striking synth lines; “For you,” a pop track with an easy-listening sound; “Young again,” a rock-based track blending emotive guitar melodies with punchy, driving drums; and finally “Earth,” an EDM track with soaring vocal layers paired with hyper-style synths, closing the album with a powerful, driving energy that feels limitless and unstoppable.

The iconic duo also dropped two concept photo sets—BUDDY and COMB I—in the lead-up to the medley, each capturing distinct daytime and nighttime vibes. Shot in Hawaii, the photos showcase a relaxed, natural side of the duo, evoking the free spirit of a summer vacation and highlighting their genuine, relatable appeal. Shortly after, the tracklist followed, revealing the titles and credits for all tracks featured on the mini-album.

What stands out is that S.COUPS and MINGYU are credited with songwriting and composing on all 6 tracks, reaffirming their reputation as creative powerhouses. Having honed their artistry through years of contributions to SEVENTEEN’s discography, the hip-hop unit work, as well as their respective solo tracks—“Jungle (S.COUPS Solo)” and “Shake It Off (MINGYU Solo)” from the group’s recent studio album—the duo now push their creative vision to the forefront, signaling expanding possibilities and building anticipation for their next chapter.

CxM’s 1st Mini Album HYPE VIBES will be available on all streaming platforms worldwide on September 29 at 5AM EST / 6 PM KST.

Jenschke Corn Maze Honors Lainey Wilson

JENSCHKE ORCHARDS IS ONE OF 36 FARMS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA PAYING TRIBUTE TO LAINEY WILSON WITH CORN MAZE HONORING THE COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR

In celebration of her current CMA (Country Music Association) honor of Entertainer of the year, Jenschke Orchards is preparing to open a corn maze paying tribute to country music icon Lainey Wilson, one of many popping up this fall that will collectively draw up to a million visitors. The 5-acre maze is scheduled to open for its 10th season on September 19th.

Jenschke Orchards is one of 36 farms across the U.S. and Canada inviting guests to “Get Lost with Lainey” in their corn maze this year. Continuing a tradition that began in 2023 to honor some of country music’s brightest stars through a nationwide Country Music Corn Maze campaign, previous honorees included Reba McEntire in 2023 and Luke Bryan in 2024. To view this year’s locations, visit HERE.

“Growing up on a fifth-generation farm in Louisiana, my country roots run deep, and I’m honored to be a part of something that brings more people out to farms to create memories and experience a little bit of what I grew up with,” said Wilson. “I was blessed to be raised playing in the dirt, riding in the tractor, and helping my deddy grow corn. I could never have imagined I’d be carved into a corn maze one day myself!

While navigating the mazes, guests will look for clues and play an interactive game, quizzing them on how much they know about Lainey. Participants will also encounter life-sized photo opportunities, listen to some of Lainey’s favorite hits, and hear recorded audio messages along the way. Farm visitors can also enter to win a grand prize trip to see Lainey perform at The National Finals Rodeo on December 7th, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. One lucky winner will receive a trip for two, including a two-night hotel stay, airfare voucher, a meet-and-greet experience with Lainey, and tickets to the show.

Additionally, one lucky winner from each farm will receive an autographed copy of Lainey’s Whirlwind Deluxe album. Officially released on August 22, the deluxe album is a celebration of the one-year anniversary of her hit record Whirlwind and includes five new songs, including her new current rising smash Somewhere Over Laredo.

“We couldn’t be more excited to honor Lainey in so many of our maze designs this year,” said Brett Herbst, founder of The MAiZE Inc. “Our mazes are all about bringing people closer together to create memories on the farm, and Lainey represents that so perfectly with her love for agriculture and being a country girl at heart.”

The Advantages of 16 Inch Wheels for Off Road Vehicles

When it comes to building a capable off-road vehicle, every component matters — and wheels are no exception. Wheel size directly impacts performance, ride quality, and tire options. While larger wheels often get attention for their aggressive look, many off-road enthusiasts and Jeep owners continue to rely on 16 inch jeep wheels.

These smaller wheels have a lot to offer when it comes to off-road performance. From improved ride comfort to better durability on rugged terrain, 16-inch wheels are more than just a budget-friendly choice — they’re a strategic option for those who want capability and reliability in challenging environments.

Why Many Jeep Owners Choose 16 Inch Wheels

1. Enhanced Ride Comfort

One of the biggest advantages of 16-inch wheels is the taller tire sidewall they allow. More sidewall means more cushioning when rolling over rocks, potholes, and uneven trails. This added flex reduces the harshness of the ride, making long off-road adventures more enjoyable. Larger wheels often sacrifice this benefit in exchange for style, but Jeep owners who prioritize comfort often stay with 16s.

2. Durability and Strength

Smaller wheels are often constructed from strong, heavy-duty materials that can withstand trail abuse. A set of 16-inch wheels provides excellent durability, particularly when navigating rocky or technical terrain. Unlike larger wheels, which can be more prone to bending or cracking under impact, 16s tend to hold up well against repeated punishment.

3. Cost and Availability

Another reason Jeep owners continue to choose 16-inch wheels is cost. They are generally more affordable than larger wheels, and replacement options are widely available. For budget-conscious drivers who still want a reliable off-road setup, 16-inch wheels make a lot of sense.

4. Compatibility with Off Road Builds

For many classic Jeep models and older trucks, 16-inch wheels are a natural fit. They pair well with mild suspension upgrades and maintain proper clearance without requiring major modifications. This compatibility makes them a go-to option for drivers who want performance without overhauling their build.

5. Balanced Performance

While 17- and 18-inch wheels have become more popular, 16s still offer a balanced performance profile. They provide enough size for versatile tire pairings while retaining the extra cushion that makes off-road driving smoother and safer.

Performance Benefits of Smaller Wheel Sizes

1. Better Traction on Trails

Taller sidewalls not only improve comfort but also play a key role in traction. Tires mounted on 16-inch wheels can be aired down to lower pressures without risking damage to the wheel. This improves grip on sand, mud, and loose dirt — conditions where traction is often the difference between getting through or getting stuck.

2. Improved Tire Flexibility

Another advantage of smaller wheels is their ability to run larger, more aggressive tires without sacrificing clearance. With 16s, it’s easier to fit oversized options that provide a better bite on rough terrain. This adaptability is one reason many off-road enthusiasts still choose them over larger alternatives.

3. Strong Pairings with Larger Tires

Many drivers pair 16-inch wheels with oversized tires, such as 35-inch tires. This combination offers excellent ground clearance, traction, and durability, especially when combined with suspension lifts. The result is a setup that can handle serious off-road challenges while maintaining ride comfort.

4. Reduced Risk of Wheel Damage

Because smaller wheels leave more sidewall between the rim and the ground, they’re less vulnerable to direct impacts. This means fewer bent or cracked rims when hitting sharp rocks or deep ruts. For Jeep owners who spend most of their time on rugged trails, this durability provides peace of mind.

5. Flexibility Across Builds

Sixteen-inch wheels can work on a variety of off-road vehicles beyond Jeeps. Many truck wheels are also available in this size, giving drivers of different rigs the chance to take advantage of the benefits. Whether you’re building a Jeep Wrangler or a trail-ready pickup, 16-inch wheels deliver reliable performance.

Final Thoughts

Bigger doesn’t always mean better when it comes to off-road wheels. Sixteen-inch wheels remain a popular choice for Jeep and truck owners because they balance affordability, durability, and performance. Their ability to handle larger tires, absorb trail impacts, and provide superior comfort makes them a smart investment for serious off-roaders.

Whether you’re pairing them with 35-inch mud-terrain tires or using them as part of a daily-driven Jeep setup, 16-inch wheels deliver results where it matters most — on the trail. By choosing the right wheel size for your build, you’ll not only improve your vehicle’s performance but also ensure it’s ready for whatever adventure lies ahead.
