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.
