North East CraigsList finds

it looks like they do have the outside ring to make them a bead lock. The allied wheels use bolts not studs (sold a brand new set couple years ago now that we bought and didnt end up using, basically same rim just a 17inch for like $1000), but yeah they are like $200 a pop so if theses are legit its a hell of a deal for $550.

 

yeah its kind of the same company, I know ours had the Allied Race Wheels sticker on the rims but they came in a AWC box that said raceline on it? something like that haha

 

weld on rock rings. Make your truck look like @Nimble9 !

Like they had mentioned before - it's minimal additional work to do it proper.

 

Despite the back and forth about them here, that's a good deal, and the tire size I am looking for. Wish the wheels weren't MTs!

25 PSI max? WHAT?! Are they just covering their ass? How could they not be approved for highway use? I guess just approved for off road use only? Are all wheel supposed to be DOT approved for highway use? So many questions...

 

not every single wheel is approved for highway use..

 

I guess I could just google, but is this just because of the time, money and effort it takes?

 

no, just that the wheel is clamped on the tire. If the bead rolls off road, no big deal. If it does when youre doing 70 on a turn, then youre probably dead.

 

That would be a bad day for anyone.

 

No I mean why not try to get every wheel DOT approved?

 

I would bet the cost is the reason, if you just say off-road only then they don't have to spend the money on testing and research.

 

then what would people use for racing and off road?

 

DOR and DOOR approved wheels

 

All good information- thank you both for taking the time to reply- I was banned for some reason, LMFAO...

 

I am root got you.

Those rock rings might help protect my valve stems. I cut one of them last summer. They're pretty exposed to contacting rocks when my truck is tiled side to side. If only I knew how to weld.
