I need to get another set of wheels and really like the 2-tone look available from some beadlock combinations. I really have no need for beadlocks as my rig is only lightly wheeled, but I have no issue running simulated locks for that true poser look. ;D

I'm thinking maybe MT Classic-Lock II, or Raceline Monster locks, or the American Eagle 135/185 with locks, or other. Considering chrome inside with black rings, or maybe black wheel with chrome rings, or maybe body colored painted ring, etc...

If you got them, show them off!

Great input all, I'm really loving this thread!

I'm leaning towards the Raceline, Trailready (with slim ring), or my original opinion of MT Classiclock (simulated). What I like about Raceline is the color ring (non-polished) is steel which would allow me to repaint or powdercoat if I wanted to mess with body colors. The Trailready & MT's use alum rings anodized for color. Although the MT's are strong contenders as they're half the cost of the Raceline & Trailready.

Keep them coming!!!

Heres my Weld on beadlocks.

Why not use some steel wheels and weld on some rock rings? It will help save your rim for getting smashed and you'll get that look you're going for.

www.ChassisUnlimited.com does great work on their CNC Plasma table. You would just need 4 outer rings without the bolt holes cut out (or with).
(heres a link to his stuff.)

Heres my spare tire. I used an inner ring and drilled out every 4th hole with a step drill bit.

I have the racelines. They're actually made by Allied, so I guess you'd get the same with either. I don't think I'd run them on the street too much though JMO

I'm really considering the Trail Worthy Fab Recentered H1 beadlocks.

Price is right. Downside is the 16.5" diameter, but the 37" Military takeoff MTR's are readily available and cheap.
