I love these rims...

But wanna know, does this rim throw off the reverse camera lines on the screen
The size of the wheel and tire don't effect the position of the camera. Even with different offsets the center of the wheel still mounts to the carrier in the same position and the backup camera would also remain in the same location or position. So no it won't effect the lines on your camera at all.

Thank you very much

Since a few people have requested pics, thought I would share a few. Had the rings powder coated red. For those interested, tires are 35" Dunlop Fierce Attitude MT. I am VERY impressed with them so far, and ate through the 2 nor'easters we've recently had. She is a little dirty, but isn't that how she is supposed to look? :rock:

The rim comes with the non-bead lock rings.

The Mopar beadlocks are actually pretty cheap comparatively. $299 isn't bad considering just buy the lock rings and you have either a beadlock or standard wheel...

Nice choice in color by the way. Here's mine, plastidipped the rings red. No lift on mine. No rubbing (although close) when stuffed.

've seen 37s with a 2.5 lift and I said it doesn't hit but who knows but it does look good

once the ring is on there you dont have to take it off when changing a flat do you ?
Yes. you need to remove the ring to take off the tire.

If you take it off of the back side you don't have to, unless of course you have the tires mounted with the actual beadlock ring.

I took the non true beadlock rings to a local body shop to paint them to match my Jeep, and they said they couldn't paint them because the original silver is powder coat, and they can't paint over powder coat. They said it is very difficult to remove powder coat, and they wouldn't attempt it. I've also read that you cannot really powder coat over an existing powder coat finish. Has anyone else had any trouble getting the rings powder coated or painted?

Find a new paint shop.

Any paint shop worth their salt wil either have a sandblaster or chemical strippers that will remove the powder coating or, worst case, send it out for removal prior to being painted.

These mopar headlocks are nice options for running DOT approved non functioning Beadlock rings or using the functional Beadlock rings. It’s a dual purpose wheel. You can get the ones like PaulNY’s and mine for about $325/350 depending on how much you shop around. If you want to run them as a true Beadlock it will cost you about $120 more a wheel for the upgraded Beadlock ring + whatever paint/powdercoat color you want. You can tell if these are set up as a true Beadlock by the bolts in the rings. The rounded torque bolt heads are for the beauty rings not for the functioning Beadlocks. The true Beadlock ring will have a hex bolt head not the torque bolts. Either way you run them they are awesome wheels in my opinion. Here’s mine with 37’s.

Are those the standard color or powder coated? If standard, how close to the silver paint is it? Thanks

Updated: sorry I didn't see your follow up post, you did mention they were the billet silver. Thanks
