Here's something else to consider... Military beadlock simulator rings to fit any steel wheel you choose.

Yeah I noticed that too, but I think that's where you fill tire.

Lol...I saw that too. It's for the valve stem of course, but it is punched out bigger than the rest, so that means it will always be out of balance and need to be compensated for no matter how balanced the tire is already.

It's kind of hard to tell if they are real or not, and they would be easier to clean than real beadlocks. Just pop em off, hose the wheel, and pop em back on! lol

please tell me if I'm smoking crack or something here... but I thought I remembered seeing somewhere that actual true bead-lock wheels were not legal for street use for some weird reason. I could be wrong, but would've sworn I saw it written somewhere before... Not sure why it would matter unless something with safety on-road??? IDK.

Beadlocks legal or not depends a lot on the state.Those B.a.d. wheels can be because the beadlock is inside and if it came loose the tire is still on the rim.The other thing is the h1 hummer and all the big military trucks have beadlocks and they can use the us roads.I kinda rather have the h1 beadlocks recentered.They are a double beadlock but are 16.5 rim so tire options are limited.
