it depends on what you do with your jeep. if you are gonna be running trails with low (sub 18psi) tire pressure, then you are more likely to benefit from the added cost of bead locks. if you want to get wheels without beadlocks, there are companies out there that make a product that acts as a beadlock from inside your tire. Staun (sp?) makes a set that Northridge 4x4 carries...http://northridge4x4.com/proddetail....TAUN-BEADLOCKS
you can buy the cheaper wheels now without the beadlocks and then decide if you have a need for them and add the internals later. just keep in mind that adding the internal beadlocks is almost the same price as getting beadlocked wheels to begin with.
also, some beadlocks require frequent retightening of the beadlocks.
