Definitely no chrome, fake beadlocks or spinners. 20 with spinners do not belong on a Jeep

It's not that they look bad, it's that they serve no purpose while imitating something that does. I looked more closely at your photo and yours look more like pegs, so that's not as odd as a fake bolt shape. A replaceable trim ring to soak up damage makes more sense and wouldn't have cost that much more for them to have engineered. Even the fake bolts on the Wrangler interior trim pieces bother me.

So while I may hate wagon wheel rims and blacked out taillights, I don't hate fake beadlocks. I just don't like them.

I also would like to say that although I am totally not offended by all of the dislike for fake beadlocks, I am running them. Simply, they look cool. And just because you guys actually have the skills to rockcrawl, doesn't mean that you get all the cool-looking stuff for yourself.

And if you can't afford to buy axles and tires simultaneously? Not hatin, it's just a likely possibility.

So true! You'd have to be filthy rich (or a super good job and no one to support) to afford to do all this stuff at once.
