Default $643 per wheel?

Has anyone seen these new wheels from Jeep? Are they fake or real bead locks?

They want $643 each for them. They are out of their minds.

They are real beadlocks and are the best looking around in my opinion. If I had the money laying around I would definately get them.

Looks fake (but it's not) because there are gaps in the beadlock pattern but I guess it's OK, it does look like they protect the valve stem.

Parts directly from the dealer are always expensive, no matter the rebranded name.

There's alot of aftermarket wheels out there that do the same as these and depending on the size you need and if you like the style, you may just pay $700 for a set of 4.

they're definitely real. the price is real too. they're not cheap at all. good quality tho from what i hear. the picture looks like a digital rendering, but that's what they look like. these actually lock both inner and outer beads through the use of an internal rubber sleeve. most conventional beadlocks only lock the outer bead. a good looking good quality wheel with a price that reflects it

You can get nearly the same wheels from a Hutchinson Dealer for about $200 less than that.
