I would love to get beadlock a but since my Jeep is my daily driver it would be too much maintenance. I do however have ATX wheels and was wondering if they make the rings to add to a wheel to prevent wheel damage? Do you know if there is a place I could get these Eddie? Going the fake beadlock look for know would be bee for me.
My Jeep isn't a daily driver, but we drive it everywhere on the weekends and to/from the trail(s). I heavily considered beadlocks but had to come to terms with the truths. Where I wheel most of the time they simply aren't needed as I rarely air down extremely low. While a high quality bead lock usually requires less maintenance, they all should still be checked often and I don't trust my diligence. They can gather and hold slow, ice, & mud as previously mentioned which is a concern for me.
To your question.... I was trying to find the same kind of thing. Pro Comp used to make wheels 1069/7069s (I think) that you could put a "rash ring" on but I believe they discontinued the drilled and threaded versions for the rings. Mickey Thompson has some, and so does Rugged Ridge. The problems I found with them is that they had insufficient backspacing for 37s but too much to add spacers in addition (Probably should've worked this differently). In the end, I went with ATX Slots and rashed the outer ring on the first trip out.... My inner mall crawler was bummed but it's all part of wheeling. If you turn off the pavement you WILL rash the edge of your wheels.
BTW, I have seen several of the RR rash rings fail on the trail and still cause damage to the wheel, in one case it actually made it worse.
