Just a lil info.
Most shops won't touch them, this includes, national chain stores, i.e discount tires, firestone. Was looking into it also, find a couple that would balance them, but wouldn't warranty them, and have heard different stories about beadlocks not being too good about holding air long term.....
Just thought I would share what's been shared with me.

Unless someone on here can help shed new light?

im a fan of the AEV Beadlocks but they are $309 a piece you may be able to find a good deal on a set of used ones in the for sale section or go to the sponsoring manufacturer and vender section and pm dave at northridge4x4 and see what kind of a deal he can get you on a set
