ok. now I see how they are true beadlocks. they look great, but sure cost a lot.

 

if you look at the last pic I posted it kinda gives you a general idea of what it looks like.

I'm not sure but I think it looks both beads (inside and out) and it is maintenance free (not sure about that either)

I think for it to be DOT approved it requires maintenance free or minimal maintenance like on normal wheels.

my wheels are not DOT but I never had to go over the bolts. and they never lose air ( i've had them for two months and wheeled them once) so far so good

 

those are nice!!!

 

They have been around for a while and as nice as they are, especially with my love of 5 spokes for 5 lug wheels, I just couldn't imagine meeting the price point. Hutchinson makes some great stuff, I'm just not paying a 50% premium because it has a Jeep logo on it.

 

totally agree

 

I cant see how anyone could justify paying that much for wheels that look like that, and im sure their performance isnt 3 times better than other beadlocks.

corey d

 

They make wheels for the military, aerospace industry etc etc. But who cares right. Only reason I know this is because I called Hutchinson today to see about the special order matte black ones. The regular rock monsters look alot better than the Jeep ones.

 

Write-Up for them....

How do you balance the wheels and tires? It does not appear that standard weights would work.

Also, that is a heavy wheel; that has to be a consideration. At least 20#s heavier than a standard rubicon wheel. I still have 32s and I am concerned about the extra rotating mass 35s or 37s will add. Any thoughts?
