Default beadlocks

Hey guys I have painted my stock 17" Rubicon rims and I am looking to give them a look to distinguish them. What I want is to put a beadlock ring on the outside. Does anyone know if they make a "clip on" ring for the stock rims? THanks!!

I'm a noob...but my understanding is that the ring on a "Beadlock" bolts directly onto the actual wheel. By doing so, it locks the bead of the tire in place on the rim. Thus the "beadlock" part.


I'd wager that a clip on/aftermarket/one size fits none sort of adapter would be rather lacking in holding power when it comes to keeping the bead locked in place.

tigging them on is not such a bad idea. I am not really into the "just for looks" kinda thing, I would rather them be functional in protecting against some rock rash.
