Default Need Simulock HELP!

I'm having troubled finding a black set of steel wheels (i.e. rockcrawlers) with the fake bead lock ringing rings. Alot of the vendors are showing them on their sites, but I'm having trouble finding any that are in production. I know I'm not crazy, because I've seen them out there (slickwill:toung. Are you guys running an adaptive spacer in order to fit these. Need some help PLEASE!

Try JEGS, their site tells you if in stock and when it will ship.
Also try NTWOnline, have some of the best prices, awesome service.

pro comp has some rings that can be added to their wheels, however the don't list them on their website. you can call them to get information.

one of the pictures in a thread about wheels (maybe "show your black wheels") has a picture of someone's wheels that have them.

What size are you looking for? That's probably your problem, Slickwill's are 15's, anything bigger is probably hard to find right now.

Thanks Guys, Blackrubi I think you are correct, I'm looking for either a 16 or 17 to go on a new Jeep. I'm don't really want the 15's because of the clearance limitaions. I'm thinking that the guys who are running the larger sizes are using spacers that adapt to a 5 on 5 pattern. Am I guessing correctly or no?

Search for the Incubus 511. They are black and have a simulock ring on them and are available in 16 and 17. I have been considering them but I think I found a wheel I like better.

Well, I understand about not wanting to run 15's (same here), but as long as you get the right backspacing (4" or less from what I've read) on the 15's you shouldn't have any clearance issues. I'm not sure about the larger sizes, but I'd be willing to bet you are right, those guys probably are using adapter spacers and running a TJ bolt pattern wheels.....they'd just about have to be.
