I wouldn't even waste my time with the plastic ring if I had a solid alloy wheel

Well I hope whoever made those alloy beadlock's will make different color anodized alloy rings for them so that you can get this look with all aluminum.

Hi. New here. Those wheels are sweet. Do they have any webbibg or stiffeners on the back of the stars? They look to be thin. I still want a set.

Guys, just wondering whats the point of metal beadlocks (not the wheels posted at the top, just beadlocks). Dont tell me you guys are spending the $200+ just for looks. also what makes these parts so expensive? if i had never heard what they sold for i would guess between $30-$50.

the aluminum beadlocks will be MUCH stronger than the stock plastic wheels plus you can change tires as many times as you like without the stock plastic beadlock ring destroying itself after taking it off two or three times.

also, a wheel that doesnt flex should = a wheel that doesnt rub. but only time will tell
