Looking for quality beadlock wheels for a bargain

"Bargain" meaning not ridiculously priced. I've been browsing this section of the forum for a while now. I just can't bite on some of these prices. I'm looking for function over looks. I don't care what they look like as much as I care about function. Running stock wheels currently (2019 TRD OR.) Any help is appreciated.

 

Why do you need beadlocks? What do you plan to do with your TRD OR that you can’t do with Mehod Beadgrips or any other wheel? I’ve run the Rubicon twice on regular Methods / 35s and 12 PSI.

 

I guess I'm ignorant on how good the factory wheels are. I'll be sticking to snow, mud, and rock trails. I'm not rock crawling. None of that around here.

 

You do not need beadlocks, most people who get them don't need them...just trying to look cool. There are also issues with DOT legal beadlocks, which very few companies make and you'll pay in vicinity of $500/ea.

Just watched an Ian Johnson video on YT where he discussed recently running Method Beadgrips at 5PSI, and actually cut a sidewall and ran at 0PSI for a while (he didn't know) and didn't pop a bead. My normal / old school Methods run at 12PSI and I've never been concerned about popping a bead.

For what you're describing, depending on load range of your tires, you'll likely air down to 20-25PSI...which is not even close to beadlock territory. Pick a tire you want for the terrain you will be operating in, then pick a load range for the load you'll be carrying / towing, then pick a size that is compatible with your desires to lift/cut, finally - see if it will work with your OEM's or if aftermarket is needed (width and backspacing requirement) - find a style that makes you happy.

 

To answer your question, these are some great bang for the buck steel beadlocks.

That said, you likely don't actually need beadlocks based on your other reply. I have beadlocks on my truck but it's a trail toy, I rarely drive it on the street. They are heavy which hurts acceleration and braking, and they need to be constantly maintained so you don't have a wheel coming apart on the highway.

 

Are you prepared to mount tires yourself? Most shops won't touch beadlocks.

 

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you all for the info. Going to stay with stock.

 

Come on. You are not a REAL truck owner if you don’t get bead locks.
