Default spyderlocks

i have had my spyderlocks for 2 years and no cop has never said any thing, if a cop a cop knows what a beadlock wheel is he is prob. a fellow off roader and would not give 2 shits.

That is one seriously cool Unlimited. Did you have it painted flat black or is that a wrap? Details either way please, looks fab. (Psst, do a set of MORE flats to complete the look.)

As for the beadlocks, I would think they would demand regular attention for a road-going JK?

i have ran these wheels for about a year now and i have checked the bolts several times and they were fine. when i installed my new 37's about two weeks ago they were to spec still. the recessed bolt keeps the rock rash away and they preform great. i have had 3 different sets of beadlocks and these are by far the best. you only get them in a 3.5 bs with 9.5 wide wheel so they do stick out a bit. i like the extra clearence for the turning and the wheels/tires hit the tree before any fenders which is nice.



they do take alot of rock rash so i advise against powder coating the rings. they are not a true legal street wheel in most states but i have not had a problem as of yet. knock on wood



american rock rods is the new company name and cliffton (the owner) is a good guy to deal with. i bought mine on a buy 4 get one free deal on here but i have not seen him post in a while.

they look great and work well as a beadlock but, they are very heavy and, due to the back spacing on them, will cause your tires to stick out quite a bit past the fenders. depending on the state you live it, this can be more of a problem than them not being DOT approved.
