I think there's a company or two with DOT approved bead locks, but for the most part, I heard they're banned because people were afraid the extra bolts could come off at highway speeds and kill somebody .


Also I heard becuase they're a lot more difficult to balance, they're illegal. But that's just word of mouth "telephone style" information.

 

hmmm ,maybe ctimrun knows the law and will help us out.

 

Those are the wheels I want. They look great. Yours is the first Jeep I've seen with those mounted.

 

yeah - i got the first shipment from Pro Comps warehouse.

but i am sure a year from now everybody will have them....

 

i know! I got the second set!! I'm getting the rears mounted monday (fronts are on)

I'm amazed at how real the beadlocks look!

 

you're gonna love them......

they look very aggressive......

i have had them for 2 days and everywhere I go people go to the jeep and ask me about the wheels...

 

DAMMIT! STOP POSTING PICS OF THESE WHEELS!

I HAD HAD MY MIND MADE UP!!!!!

 

I'm still trying to find a set of 37x12.5x17 KM2's.

Where were you able to even find the KM2's? They're still telling me it will be 4-6 weeks minimum. And I tried Discount, NTB, Costco, Off Road shops,...

No Mo anywhere right now.

BTW best price I have found is at Costco $(290) but they will not install, and won't provide free balancing and rotation. That could add up. But the other stores are wanting about $100 per tire more. That adds up quick too.

 

i don't want to break any vendor rules - however, i can tell you that i bought the tires from a local 4x4 shop and they were able to get them from the socal BFG warehouse.

if the BFG warehouse in TX is out then it might be hard for you to get them until they get them in stock....

i guess i got lucky -

my next choice would have been the TOYO M/T....

 

Found em at Costco and they will be here in less than 1 week.

Thanks again for the help.
