Should I leave the ringS on the beadlocks or should I take them off? I'm referring to these specifically
Quick question bout beadlocks and powder coating

I should also mention that I want both the ring and rim to be black

Fastenal, McMaster-Carr, Grainger, or any major hardware store will have them. They're 3/8-16 NC threads. I don't remember the flange thickness on the wheel side though, you'll have to measure that to figure out how long of a bolt to use. An inch would probably do just fine.

They do make high temp plugs, and most shops will have them for just this purpose. Just depends on if they want to prep and spray all 4 or 5 wheels at once as most shops won't have that many plugs available. Otherwise it's cheaper to just buy bolts. Most of those high temp plugs are pretty damn expensive.
Edit: Quick google search came up with these. 500 pack @ .98 each. Ouch!

Mine came pre coated for the rims but I did end up painting my rings myself.

I will be using them. I went to the dealer and picked up 5 sensors for my new wheels. (Total rip off)
I'm not into the whole tpms thing but if it wasn't for it my wife I'm sure would drive on the rim if she picks up a nail. At least it will give her a heads up if it's leaking. Just need to program the EVIC to a lower psi than the factory 43.
I still think they are a waste.

A simple plug is all you need to do wheels but if you tell your PC shop to plug the holes they should have enough to do the job correctly. If they said they didnt have enough plugs to do the job right I would take my business elsewhere.

I am running the TPMS with my Chamber Pro lls. They were a PIA to get from one wheel to the other. I agree with Highwaytrout, if I was the only driver I would run them without.
