Looking into getting a set of new wheels and really would like a
set of beadlocks so I don't have to worry about my tires when I'm aired down, and I'd be able to air down further. Us the rings would help prtoct the wheels from rash a bit. My shockers are rock rashes prteey good and have a bead leaking because of the rim being gouged.

I was looking at the AEV bead locks in argent. It's at the top of my budget at $309 per wheel on northridge. What other 17" beadlocks are out there around that price range? The poison spyder locks look good but at 60 bucks more per wheel are out of the question. Also is there any maintenance required for beadlocks? Like torque checking the ring bolts? Anything I should worry about running the aev bl wheels on my dd? Thanks for any help.

 

As far as maintenance goes AEV recomends checking the torque on the bolts monthly, and replacing them annually.

 

That doesn't sound to bad. I cab deal with monthly. The aev wheels are in my budget but those mopar branded hutchison beadlocks are outrageous at 600+ dollars per wheel.

The same wheels (as far as I am aware) at a lower price that the MOPARs

 

i bought my spyderlocks at a buy 4 get one free. if you call cliffton he would hook you up im sure. i love mine and i will check them about 4 times a year. i used blue locktight when i installed them and don't think i will have a problem. plus you save some dough on the mounting. so don't forget to add that in.
