Beadlocks or not?

So I am doing the research as many of us do on what is the right mod for the Jeep 2012 JKUR. I have recently been looking at armor and lifts and now I am looking and trying to decide wheels.

Beadlocks are nice and I like the look but for someone who probably wheel 2-3 times a month and the Jeep is on the highway 75% of the time compared to trails is it better to go with normal wheels?

I think I know the answer but give me your 2 cents, if ya want.

Honestly, they are really nice to have but far from necessary. If you stick with a narrower wheel like an 8" wide wheel and run 12.50 wide tires, they'll hold well enough for most any wheeling you do.

Just for my own edification, a narrower wheel helps prevent blowing a bead over a wider wheel...all other things being equal?

Some of the reason I am thinking about a normal wheel is for one I can have them mounted and balanced at Discount when I purchase the tires and wheels. Also the cost of the wheels seem a little less for a normal wheel depending on which one you get. Aside from deciding which wheels, I have already made my mind up on Nitto Mud Grapplers 35 x 12.50 x 17.

So now I just need to find a good wheel, any ideas?
