I use Trail Ready Beadlocks on several of the my rigs. I like them a lot. I have both single and doubles.

I also like Stauns internal beadlocks. I've never lost a bead with them, they also take up volume so airing up is faster. Downside is they wear occasionally and leak. Still I like them.

 

According to their website, they support the following lug patterns: 5 on 4.5, 5 on 5, 5 on 5.5, 6 on 5.5, 6 on 6.5, 8 on 6.5, 8 on 170.

I looked at this wheel (Eklipse 17) and I think it is a great idea. There are a lot of positive reasons to get this wheel including easily changing out the Rock Ring without needing to air down the tires and dismount the tire bead. You could have a color matched ring for daily driving and a beat up trail ring for offroading. It is also DOT approved.

Even with the positives about the wheel, I still chose the ATX Slab for my beadlock. There were two reasons why I decided not to get Eklipse 17. I didn't need a wheel that is 10" wide and because of the bead locking mechanism being inside the wheel, you can't run an E rated sidewall. Depending on the tire size a D rated sidewall might not work either. Since my favorite Toyo and Nitto tires use D and E rated sidewalls, it would be a major pain to get the internal beadlock mechanism installed on the Eklipse 17 because the tire sidewall won't have enough flex to reach inside the wheel to bolt the inner bead lock down.

I think the Eklipse 17 is a great wheel and I almost ordered it, but I'd have to change up my tire choice to use it.

 

Thanks for the info. I had a really hard time finding my way around that site. Maybe they've got a better storefront site that I didn't see.

 

I tried the Load Range E tires on my JK, way too stiff to make the tire work well. Had to air way down to get the sidewalls to flex.
Wheeled all over South Dakota, even some Telluride and Moab trail action on these Toyo Open Country M/Ts (E Rated) and found them to be too stiff.
I'm on Load range D Yokahama Geolander MTs now and I look forward to running these Eklipse beadlocks.

 

I'm planning on running 15x8, steel eatons using some wheel adapters. It will be a while before I get them though.

 

Have been running my Racelines for almost a year now. Love them, only negative is the Black finish is starting to chip a little.

 

11RedJK: Are your Racelines the forged, cast, or steel versions?
I haven't had good luck with their forged aluminum version. Hit a rock going about 25 mph and was able to bend the lip of the wheel. Granted we were running about 18 psi at the time. A metal engineer buddy of mine looked at it and told me it was likely due to an improper heat treat process.
I know China has trouble delivering consistent quality on a lot of manufactured goods, maybe the fading finish was due to that?

 

I was under the impression that 15" wheels would not clear the brakes on a JK. Have you fit checked this?

With proper backspacing most 15" steel wheels do fit. These will have about 3" of backspacing
