Anyone have beadlocks for sale or know of anyone selling some

 

Most professional grade beadlocks used by race teams (Walker Evans, ATX Slabs, Racelines, etc) are typically custom order because they are so customizable when it comes to backspacing, center hole size, lug patterns in 5, 6 or 8 hole. It usually takes about 3-4 weeks to get a set. The great thing is that the same wheels proven to be worthy of racing, are the ones you will get from these companies for your rig Recently Off Road Evolution had a pricing special on ATX Slabs and had a ton in stock on the most popular ordered sizes. That special has passed, but they may still have them in stock at regular prices.
For the weekend warrior, there is always the AEV Pintler beadlocks. The AEV's are not as heavy duty of a wheel as the others, but they may fit your needs. Check Quadratec for those

 

I'm running the Raceline Monsters and when I got mine they were on sale buy 3 get the 4th free. In my case I bought 5 and it worked out to $100 off per wheel. I ordered them on a Monday and had them by the end of the week.

 

You can also get a different kind of bead lock that is a internal pressurised unit.
It basically works like a balloon inside your tyre that presses up against the bead and locks it onto the tyre.
Here in Australia beadlock rims are illegal on the black top so these are a safe and easy way arround.

 

I have AEV beadlocks and the only con I have is that the chain stores may or may not support or mount the tires on beadlocks for you. Discount Tire whom I bought my tires from and Les Schwab dealers are two that would not in my case. They are a little more work, but I think worth it.

 

I found this when researching for mine

In the end i wasn't worried about it. On the maintenance front, you do have to check them, but like has been mention you should be checking other things anyway. And you only have to retighten those that dont hit the torque number, its not that big of a deal really. They are a pain to mount though, but i guess not an issue if you are paying someone else to mount them. On the AEV specifically, they are nice but the heads are way too soft and start to strip easily. I'm looking into replacing my bolts , just havent worked that out yet

 

I completely feel your pain My jeep came with the AEV Pintlers in non-beadlock version from the dealer. I liked their looks so much, I switched to the beadlock version and it was the worst decision. I had two wheels lose 5-6 ring bolts each (inserts in wheel stripped out) and a third wheel develop cracks around the lug nuts. Not to mention, the finish on the AEV wheel is possibly the softest powder coating ever to be applied to a surface. That's why I refer to AEV wheels as a "weekend warrior" option, they just can't handle the hard stuff

 

Yeap i think i had one or two strip on each wheel mounting them, and every time i check torque they get worse and worse. I havent had any pop but changed the stripped ones out. Figure i'll get some replacement bolts with a harder material or maybe even give up the profile of the head for some tradiational bolts. I've noitced the finish as well around the lugs nuts scratched easily. Other than that i have no complaints but i agree if i was seeing rocks they would be toast in short order, luckily its all dirt and mud down here

 

Think that's why AEV has changed the bolts on their beadlocks. I ordered all new bolts because my old ones started rounding also. The new type are much better.

 

Didn't mean to create controversy! But great info.
