Default Wheels with Rock Rings

I tried to order wheels with rock/trim rings for my 2012 JKUR (I do quite a bit of rock-crawling out West, and it's nice to be able to switch out the rock rings when they get too banged up). I ordered Mickey Thompson 479431s. I found out today that they're back-ordered and won't be available until at least October.
The only other company I know of that makes something like them...Walker Evans Racing wheels. The problem: they're about $400 each. I'd rather not spend that much for wheels to go rock-crawling with.
So...does anyone know of another company that makes wheels like these? (I don't want true beadlocks because I travel around a lot and many places won't work on beadlocks).
Thanx/Jerry

The pro comp X069 series (replace to X with whatever finish you want) have to k rings available. I have the 7069s and am considering rock rings for them.

That's very interesting. I was at a 4WD Parts store today & they didn't seem to know that.
Do you happen to have a link that shows that?
Thanx much/Jerry

cheaper than 400 a piece but still pricey.
