OK so I finally decided on wheels and took advantage of a 25% off offer on a set of Pro Comp 8179's. Was not sold on the diamond cut lip (wanted all black but could not pass up the price for 5).

In surfing through threads here I came across these beadlock rings a few members have installed on these same wheels and really like the look as well as the functionality..... I added them to my order as well, however the hardware to attach them will not be in till the end of the month and the wheels and rings will be here next week.

Anyone know what size the bolts are so I can find them locally. Patience is not a virtue i posess in large quantity. Was hoping to have the wheels mounted and balanced with the rings installed.

I have emailed pro comp tech but no response yet.

 

that is my understanding.

There are a couple of good pics of the wheels and beadlock rings in this thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...k+rings&page=3

I went with the black beadlock rings for mine.

 

Here is my black on black not bolted on yet. Waiting for my MG's to come from discount tire.

 

And what bolts are you talking about? The ones that attach the ring to the rim? The new bolts come packaged with the rings.

 

Wheels were $109 each and the rings were around $60 each

 

When i bought the rings for my wheels (from 4wd.com) the hardware to bolt them up was in the box with the rings. Not sure why they wouldn't be coming to you the same way.

 

From my searching for replacments you will not find them from anyplace other than Procomp.

 

Are 8179 available right now everywhere I check says back ordered?

 

Last I heard they are on a 2-3 month back order...

 

I ordered mine from 4wd.com in the past 2-3 weeks and got mine with in a week?? 3 wheels came from FL and 2 from TX warehouse.
