Which Beadlock Wheels?

[R Q]

I'm starting to look at some new beadlocks for my 40" stickies I just got. I am not used to buying shiny new things so clue me in on the better choices for a classic rig that gets used. Need 17"s in 8 lug
Here's what they'll be going on

KMC
Trail Ready
Raceline
Dirty Life

All aluminum, in that order, in my opinion, depending on budget.

 

[Jody Treadway]

I've ran Dirty Life's for a while and couldn't be happier. My Treps don't lose any air between trips (or sitting for the last 2 years) and I'm yet to lose an inner bead.
Racelines are always a soild choice too.

Vision, Trail Gear and Method are also options. I've personally ran KMC and Trail Gear beadlocks.

Scott Goforth carries Vision and Raceline.

I have always wanted to try trail worthy fabs 17” beadlocks. Pretty sure they are a steel double beadlock .

 

[drkelly]

My Racelines haven't lost any air sitting in my garage over the last 3-4 years.

 

[CasterTroy]

I've had racelines and dirty life alum. and DIY steel

Nothing wrong with racelines but when dirtylife looks as good for alot less it was a no Brainer

I'm a little bias since I'm a dealer but I like my Dirty Lifes. Honestly though you really can't go wrong with any known name on the market.

I'm in the market for beadlocks as well. Leaning Vision Ojos to get 3.5in backspace on 6lug.

I went full Nerd a while back when investigating beadlock wheels and the different widths and mounting face offsets. I created this. The red line is the mounting surface. Top section is the wheels standing up all with their inboard surfaces lined up. The bottom section is with their mounting surfaces lined up.

They are nice but very expensive. Some good info there @drkelly

 

[R Q]

Well...as it turns out I just remembered that a buddy of mine got himself some new wheels so I sent a message to him so now I'll have his old set of Trail Gear wheels. Not my first choice but can't beat the price! They'll need a bit of spit polishing first though.

[untchabl]

The Creeper Locks are a good wheel, I never had any issues with mine.

I whole heartedly support this option.

Love it!

Actually I hate purple. But I just have style and purple would set that green off like crazy

If you go purple/teal, you need to go all out with the proper 90s baller attire. A Charlotte Hornets Starter jacket would also be acceptable.
