Found these on our local website. I do not know much about beadlocks yet, so some help would be greatly appreciated. What do you think

$32500
5x5.5 15x10 Bead Lockers

15x10 5 lug by 5.5 bolt pattern, Matte black fresh powdercoat wheels. Perfect for a Jeep, older DOdge, older Ford, and International Scouts. THese have a new powder coat white bead lock trim, with the matte black hub. These havent been mounted since the powder coat. These are real beadlockers not fake imitations. They would look awesome on your every day driver or your crawler. Text me for pics please.

Yes, you can run wheel adapters to make them work but, your total back spacing will be at least 1" less. If you're wanting a wider stance, that'll give it to you. Can't tell from the pic but, are those alloy wheels and, how thick is the ring? Normally, a good set of bead locks will cost you about $300+ a piece new and at least $150 a piece used. If $350 is for all of them, I'd have to wonder why.

How thick would you say are the rings? From the pic, it looks pretty thin - not something you'd want with a beadlock.

From what i can tell, they are really thin. So I don"t think i will worry about it. I like the Spiderlocks you guys run. I found some Dayton bead locks that look pretty good. I don not know a ton about beads yet, but these seam pretty good for now. the Spiderlocks were like 450 a piece. Thank you for your comments

Here are some Trail Ready beadlocks, I will be picking these up soon. They are super strong cuz I saw them take plenty of abuse on my buddy's cj at the hammers..$395 a wheel if u get them in silver, made in the USA and for an extra $35 you can have a lifetime warranty if u crack the wheel, just send it in and they will send you a new one

Are the trai ready beadlock bolts recessed? Looks like they are sticking out and could sheer off.:thinking:

Yes the bolts are recessed about half way. Very solid wheels made in USA. Here are mine with black anodized rings.
