Default OMF Performance???

Does anyone have any experience with OMF performance and there simulated beadlock conversions? Quality? Balance?

Yes. OMF did a bead lock conversion on a set of the new '13 Rubicon wheels for me. They have the CNC program to do that now after mine.
Their work is impressive. It's not really any cheaper to do a simulated bead lock vs a real one. The concerns about these beadlocks being high maintenance isn't true. I retorqued the bolts once at 1000 miles and they tightened up about a quarter turn. At that point the bead was set and nothing needed since then. I'll check them every 5000 when I rotate the tires. From day one they haven't lost any air and they balanced perfectly with beads. I'm running a 33" tire.

I like the idea and looks of a beadlocker. How ever, I believe they are not street legal in my state.
