Dang I didn't know they leaked at low air pressure. And the bead lock would be nice, I think method offers that but are you able to take it off to make them road legal?
If you want DOT "legal" beadlocks, check these out. I'll be putting mine on the end of this week the end of this week, so I don't have personal experience yet, but from what I'm reading they're a great product. There is a 3 part clamp on the inside of the wheel that locks the bead to the inside of the rim. This is why DOT legality doesn't apply. Off road they can be aired down as low as you want to go and the clamps keeps the inner bead seated.

What did you pay for these and where did you pick them up? Their website is garbage.

Just give the guy a call - it's a nascent company and he runs it by himself...he's got a lot of off-road experience but not a lot of website design experience I guess :idontknow: He definitely prefers to do business over the phone.
864-491-04387 - it's his cell phone. His name is Kevin.
I paid $360/wheel, which included the rapid airdown valve. The sacrificial rock rings (optional) are $90 each. He shipped via UPS directly to me.
did you get a response? I tried to get information, filled out the contact info on the website and left vm on the number - never got any response back.
Thanks for the info brother. Maybe I'll have to approach him about rebuilding his site while I'm at it. Haha!

I've been running 17" Hutchinsons for 2 years now and will never run a different wheel. These have been the best investment next to ARB lockers. I forget how much they weigh, just over 50#'s each. I run 35" BFG KM2's and wheel/tire weight is 125#. I run 4-5 psi on hard trails and my rig has blown people away because of the traction it has. Made in NJ and they also produce the beadlocks our military uses. There not cheap,but the only wheel I'll have to buy for years and they look awesome(IMO).
