Bead lock rims

I was told today that bead lock rims are not for the dd jeep. They are meant for trails and off road only. Is this true?

I 2x that. Beadlocks are more expensive and require a little more maintenance. I just got my first set and love them (AEV) I'll never go back, but I try to wheel my DD at least every 2 weeks if not more.

Agreed. I personally don't have them because I don't feel like I'll need them. So far I haven't.

Good feedback! So I guess it's about preference or need. I must agree on that. I don't wheel enough, yet, to get them. Maybe sometime in the future I will. Thanks!!
