Default What beadlock wheels ??

What beadlock wheels would you recommend or do you have that you like ? Piture if you have one.

Tough wheeling but not extreme
Reasonable price !!
Steel vs aluminum ??
Proper backspacing, dont want to use a spacer.

Thanks

On road o off road use? I have not read up on it in years but most True beadlock wheels are not street legal. There are some DOT approved ones that are ok but Laws might have changed since last time I checked.

Edit: I cannot find anything stating they are illegal, seems they are more of a Gray area. That being said I would love to have a set they look great. Wonder how they balance?

The atx slabs look really good technically and they seem to appear on a lot of the monster jk's


Their not in my budget now but I think I'm gonna live a little while with my factory rims and save up for the better beadlock protection

I'm very happy with my trail gear beadlocks. Good price, very beefy, and balanced easily.

I'm really happy with my Raceline Monsters. I got them on sale buy 3 get the 4th free. I bought 5 and it worked out to $100 off each wheel. I mounted the tires myself and it was fairly easy took about 30 mins a wheel once I figured it out. America's tire balanced them and had no issues. They are not DOT approved but haven't had any issues so far. I retorque the ring at tire rotation intervals.
