40 years since the birth of BRADLEY : 4x4 Engineering Service

ETERNAL STANDARD

The year 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of Bradley's birth.

4WD wheels were mainly made in foreign countries in those days.
Although there were calls for authentic Japanese aluminum wheels that could withstand rough roads,
there were only a handful of wheels that could meet these demands.

1982.
We have taken a small step to change such a situation in Japan.

The BRADLEY is an aluminum wheel made exclusively for 4WD vehicles in Japan,
and was born from the extremely simple design concept of "making the best 4WD wheel", overcoming all difficulties.

This wheel, which has attracted the attention of rally drivers around the world and is still highly regarded as a masterpiece, is the starting point for us, and at the same time, it is a beacon pointing the way to the future.

Unstoppable evolution and unchanging thoughts.

BRADLEY is delivered daily to 4WD freaks who drive on all kinds of rough roads.
In the 40 years since its birth, BRADLEY has gradually evolved and various derivative models have appeared.

We want to take function, quality, design, and all other elements to an unprecedented level.
That feeling we hold is exactly the same today as it was 40 years ago.

BRADLEY V", which many Land Cruiser owners have great confidence in,
and The strongest forged model in the series, "BRADLEY FORGED Takumi", etc.
We have been producing genuine 4WD wheels that are worthy of the title of "Masterpiece".
We will continue to manufacture steadily and carefully.

HISTORY

40 years have passed since his debut.
A Brief History of BRADLEY.

From the three-piece BRADLEY-01 to the latest forged models, we look back on the trajectory of the company.
