Bead Lock Rims, Corrosion, and TRD Pro Rims

I have a completely stock 2020 OR with 16" stock wheels. I also live in an area that salts the crap out of the roads for 3-4 winter months. I am itching to find some bronze rims as replacement for current ones (possible Christmas gift to myself). I like the Method NV 305's and the TRD Pro's. I wish to stay stock size to run an unmodified suspension.
I have a couple Q's.

Do the rim bolts on the bead locks rust, pit, corrode or otherwise deteriorate? I had zinc coated tailgate letters that looked like shit after 4 months. I would hate to spend money on a beautiful set of rims (Methods) and have issues with the rim bolts.

If I purchased the Pro rims (17"), are there any problems such as rubbing or modifications I would need to do, other than add new rubber and go? I like this idea because it has no bolts to worry about. I do know the Sport has 17" rims also, so I do not think this is a problem.

Finally, I know prices went up significantly since all the supply chain stuff happened. Might it be better to wait until spring for a possible pricing decrease? I know we cannot prognosticate this, but any information is appreciated.

 

Can't answer the corrosion question, but going to 17"... no issues. Just get the Sport sized tires 265/65R17 and enjoy. As for pricing... that's anyones guess what will happen...

 

Would 265/70/r17 be an issue on stock suspension? Im in the same boat. About to purchase some bronze trd wheels but they come with falkens wildpeak 265/70/17

 

Yes, those will fit too...

 

I had no issues running with 265/70-17’s

 

Thanks gang, appreciate the info! Still hoping to hear from the bead lock crowd...?

 

I had a set of OEM 16” headlocks from the TX Baja series and the bolts didn’t rust up in salty Hawaii or road slush winter WV.

 

I'm in Colorado and my TRD Beadlocks and TRD Rockwarrior OEM ring bolts are chrome plated and hold up very well.

 

Thanks again folks!

 

unless galvanized or stainless, steel will rust...
