The Armed Syndicate Empire is now available to dealers through ATW Distributors. It’s a big-diameter, multi-spoke wheel in 24″ and 26″, built for full-size luxury SUVs. It gives your store a premium street option for a customer the off-road catalogue doesn’t reach.
The Empire is the newest model in the Syndicate line, Armed Wheels’ premium tier. It joins the Cartel, Czar, Boss, Phantom, Shank, Don and Assassin.
Who Buys The Empire
The Empire is built for the full-size SUV owner who wants a custom look and isn’t building for the trail. That customer drives mostly on pavement and keeps the ride height stock or close to it, and they want the vehicle to look high-end, not lifted.
Most of the Syndicate line already serves truck builds: the Czar and Boss are built for stance, and the Cartel runs 5, 6 and 8-lug in 20″ to 24″. The Empire fills the luxury SUV slot. You can offer that customer a premium big-diameter wheel without sending them to a brand you don’t stock.
- Premium positioning. Syndicate is Armed’s top line, so the Empire carries a higher ticket than the Street or Off-Road ranges.
- One brand across the counter. Armed Off-Road, Street and Syndicate together cover trucks, cars and luxury SUVs under one supplier.

Selling The Empire
A set of Empires rarely leaves the store on its own. A 24″ or 26″ install almost always needs:
- Tires in a matching plus-size, from the full tire range ATW carries
- Conical-seat lug nuts, because factory hardware often doesn’t match
- TPMS sensors or a transfer
- An alignment and a final clearance check
- A winter package in a smaller diameter, for customers who want to protect the finish through salt season
Be straight with customers about the trade-offs. A big wheel means a shorter sidewall, a firmer ride, more pothole exposure and fewer tire choices. For most daily-driven SUVs the 24″ is the better balance, and the 26″ is for owners who put the look first and drive mostly on good pavement. A customer who knows what to expect comes back, and one who’s surprised by the ride comes back with a complaint.
Fitment Notes For Dealers
Confirm fitment by year, make, model and trim before ordering. Large-diameter wheels leave little room for error.
- Centre bore. At 78.1 mm, check the bore against the vehicle’s hub before quoting. If you’re unsure, call ATW and we’ll confirm.
- Custom drill. The custom-drill part numbers are machined to suit the application. Call ATW with the vehicle details for drilling options and lead times.
- Overall diameter. Size the tire to keep overall diameter close to stock. That protects speedometer accuracy and clearance.
- Lug seat. The Empire uses a conical seat. Supply matching lug nuts with every set.
