    not yet available. beadlocks are finishing up and non beadlock samples are approved. likely about a month out on beadlocks and a little longer on non beadlock.

    we just shot non beadlock samples on a prerunner chevy yesterday. i’ll have them with me at overland expo possibly on my trailer if it’s finished in time.
    here’s the beadlock

    They look awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. Looking forward seeing the non beadlock as well.
    Any idea on suggested retail pricing?
    Also, the site says off-road use only, I have no idea what that could mean or how it would not be suitable for anything else.
    Anyway, thanks again. Looking at those pics, these wheels will sell like crazy.

    i don’t have pricing but i’d say it’ll be inline with similar size other fuels like the anza or trophy.

    the offroad use only disclaimed applies to all beadlock wheels as dot has no standard to approved beadlocks. manufacturing to dot compliance and approved are two different things entirely i run them on my daily driver and a coworker runs a different beadlock on his and has for 2-plus years. i can’t say there will be no issues. beadlocks require some vigilance in setting up and maintaining torque specs as well as any potential issues with insurance and accidents. if something happens it’ll be on the owner to prove they weren’t the cause. much like the mag-moss act

    if anyone tells you a beadlock can’t balance properly has no idea what they’re talking about or only has perspective on 30 year old tech of cut/weld. all the current tech in cut weld yields a wheel that balances well.


    the non beadlock is only being made in a 0 offset unlike the beadlock at -12. once shoot is edited i’ll post the non beadlock.

    I’ve been having a hard time finding wheels that I like on my MGM OR.
    I think these may fit the bill.
    Would love to see the non beadlock ones mounted to get an idea of how deep they are. The pic posted by Blackohio seems to have a very similar depth, while having a 0 offset.

    Thanks again blackohio for posting the pics. Much appreciated. Looking forward to updates and more pics.

    The fuel website says they're for off road only, what does the mean exactly? Are they not safe on the street?

    based on timelines for other wheels, i'd say it'll be about a month. On the cast stuff we get 22+ containers a day of wheels.
