Default RE: Bead locks

Not sure about 2.2s but I assume someone somewhere makes them...

Beadlocks have pieces that bolt together to lock the bead into place. No glue is used. Assembly is a bit more time-consuming that just gluing some tires together, but it can easily be undone. Plus if you're running aluminum wheels you don't have to worry about getting ca to stick to aluminum.

The maximizers have an inside 'tube' and a wheel face which bolt together. Depending on the tire you're running they also have some rings (called rage rings) that allow you to run a low profile or thin bead tire (like most of the Proline tires)
