    Looks great. I am a faux fan since I run SR8 but I like the unique take on the Rock Warriors.

    I think it's poser bullshit. Unnecessary weight being added to the rims.

    I think there are now beadlocker rims that don't even have bolts now. Now, you can get the function of beadlockers without all the poser bullshit.

    Have fun in your pavement princesses.

    I agree, but I'm wondering/hoping this trend is over that's why I put the poll up there. So far it seems to be most are indifferent and don't like them over liking them. I want to see wheel companies adjust to that so that I have more to pick from.

    Also indifferent, which is strange because my favorite wheels are trd bronze fake beadlocks. I like the bronze wheel. The fake ring is incidental I guess.

    Unpopular opinion but I hate the look of SCS Ray10s and SR8s. I don't mind Fuel Vector wheels but I can't stand the set with the shiny silver 'bolt' ring. To each their own,
    If I went with fake beadlocks I personally would choose something less flashy - that all being said I really do like the look of the Fuel Crush wheel despite the flashiness.

    Love my fake beadlock wheels. If SCS creates standard beadlocks I'm quite sure all taco owners will rock them. I haven't seen any attractive looking wheels other than SCS.

    Bro how did you fill the holes? Those rims also come in a 6 bolt pattern but only in gunmetal. Looks like you powder coated them black...looks sick! Awesome job.
    I was going to get them except they didn't come in black; plus they're over $300 per wheel...super expensive.

    It’s the male equivalent of a charm bracelet, or collecting shoes for some women. It’s not about having the stuff you need, it about having all the stuff.

    I think fake bead locks are cool if the ring is a different color.

    Here’s my fake ones!

    Real bead locks come in all shapes and sizes, you have to actually inspect the back side of the lip and see if bolts poke through the back if the clamp ring has recessed bolt holes. Both SCS/OMF converts and you can't tell if its just a fancy ring or a real beadlock.
