Beadlock Wheels, Pro's vs Cons?

Have you given the Method NV a look? (I painted the simulated beadlock bolts black.)

 

17’s will be the easiest as it’s probably the smallest most common size now (outside the smaller specialized manufacturers)

 

Why not just get the 16s?

 

It’s a manufacturer. Fn Overlander Spec B is what you’re looking for. Contact info in the first post.

 

I got them on mine

 

I have the TRD Beadlock on my 10 double cab TRD Sport and they are cool not a 4by but just a cruiser for grandpa. Back in the day we had real ones on our Super Modified and Sprint car because of low tire pressure and flexible sidewalls. The ones on my truck were plastic dipped black by previous owner. I am considering taking the dip and returning them to Bronze, Might even dip the bead looks themselves red like an anodized red. Took one off when I first go the truck they have no function but looks, Have regular highway 265/70 X 16 tires. Mine were installed by the dealer at time of first sale so I have a 17 inch spare wish the had them in 17 inch I would buy them need to get 16 inch spare. I have seen other beenlock but like the TRD the best for my truck.

 

If you don't plan to air down to single digit, you don't need beadlock. Most want the beadlock look without paying the true beadlock price, that's why there's simulated.

 

Man those are sexy. It's going to take forever for me to afford them though haha

 

Con: Snow and Ice in the beadlock cause a severe vibration at any speed above 30mph!
Pro: You will get so many chicks with those wheels you won't have time to worry about the vibration!!

 

As stated they are fake.

I’ll never buy a set because they are too expensive for fake beadlocks.


As long as you paint the rim to match the rest of the wheel they are awesome... just not paying that price for em

 

Well actually I really like the bright silver ring with the darker gray wheel, to me that just looks fantastic.

it's been really hard to find some replacement Wheels because to me most of them just look like crap.

 

Keep an eye out on Craigslist. I’ve seen sets pop up from time to time

 

I found a set of 4 for $650 in the buy/sell on here. Going on the truck next week with Cooper STT Pros. I'm pretty pumped

 

Its very hard to find good wheels. I honestly put more thought into the wheels I’ve bought in my life than getting married.

I also will be very hesitent to ever buy used wheels. You have no idea what people have done to their wheels to include the products they use to clean them. They could have used a brake cleaner that will significantly lower the life of the finish.

 

That's how I feel, no way to know if they went nutter with them or not!

 

With my trd wheels I have one wheel that always wants 8oz of weight. No matter what the tire, or the way it’s mounted it wants 8oz of weight. I mean it drives fine, 8oz is a high number for an oem wheel, I usually only see that with aftermarket wheels

 

my TRD PRO had the OEM fake beadlock rims.....they were OK but they were 16" and I wanted 17" rims to mount lighter tires.....I sold them on here for under $1k with like new BFG KO2's....keep checking on here for a gently used set...

 

I JUST FOUND OUT I DO HAVE 16's! THANK GOD

Time to find a deal on the gray TRD's now

 

For some reason I read that 3 times at "8 oz's of water"...

 

I ran them for like 3 years.
Bronze trds on my black sand taco!
Sexy as hell!
Bought them used from a local TW member!
Not for cheap but worth it.
Dealer overtorqed the bolts for the fake beads and broke the paint on about 30% of them. Still looked awesome but became a ocd thing!

I had 3 sets of wheels and time for one to go! And they were heavy, clear coat and paint damages easy with sloppy techs!
The fake beads would hold water and dirt.
But sexy as hell!!!


On their new ride and I mean new!
2018 with 300 miles on it, he drove 2 hrs to get them least I could do was put them on for him!
