Does anyone know of a company that makes non-beadlock wheels, but still have the removable outer ring? Basically a simulated beadlock. I'd like something to protect the wheel itself, but if/when it takes a beating I can just replace/repaint the ring.
I know Trailready makes the "Beadlook" wheels, but they're around $400 each.

EDIT: Aluminum wheels available in 17"

I think rugged ridge makes one.

I'm not a huge fan of the Rugged Ridge wheels.
I'm a little confused about the Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock Wheels though. They say the rings are not removable, but then I found these rings that clearly state they are for "simulated beadlock wheels." What MT wheels do these go on?

It looks like these may be removable.

I had the MT Classic Lock wheels with silver and black attachable rings. The New MT Classic "Baja" Lock wheels I think are now solidly affixed to the wheel.

I've been looking for the last few days and think I may have finally answered my own question. I found the Mickey Thompson Classic Lock Wheels, but can't find them in the correct bolt pattern for the JK.

So I guess I'm back to looking for other suggestions. Anyone?

Check out OMF Wheels they can take any wheel and make it into a simu-lock wheel and they have some pretty bad ass designs. I have Trail ready beadlocks myself and I love the fact that I can beat the heck out of the rings knowing that I can always paint them and make the wheels look new again.

This is an OMF design not an actual beadlock and not my wheels


These are real beadlocks and my wheels and you can see they are pretty close


Good luck.

I have the Mickey Thompson .... 8 screws they come right off(I painted mine) ..... The other screws(bolts are for show and stay on the ring but are removable). If you're interested in them contact Mickey Thompson they might still have some kicking around if they did discontinue the removable ones... Good luck

Just got off the phone with Mickey Thompson and they closed the plant where the Classic Lock Wheels were being produced and are no longer making them. They said they're getting a ton of calls about them, so hopefully they'll start making them again someday, but that doesn't help me now.

I would suggest Level 8 ZX with rock rings
