How do they make sure the color matches properly?
We went through all the metallic blue paint samples that they had and compared them to the Jeep...it's not an exact match but pretty darn close. Only if you were to hold them up to the side of the Jeep could you tell that they are not an exact exact match.

Would body shops carry the new OBM paint?

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:

I just can't justify the cost of beadlocks right now.

They seem crazy high for now.

Anyone know the bolt size for my Mopar appearance (non-beadlock) ring bolts? I sorta got part of a tree stuck in between the fake beadlock ring and tire this past weekend, and need to take off the bolts to remove the aforementioned tree parts lol. Yes, I was having a lot of fun kinda making my own trails this past weekend :rock:

So I went in to the dealership to have the mopar beadlocks installed and they really botched the job. Apparently, they couldn't figure out how to get a valve stem in these wheels. Since they are still holding on to my wheels until they can figure it out, can anyone provide insight as to how they could have this problem? I know the valve stem should be recessed but they refuse to believe me and are requesting to install extra long valve stems to make sure it sticks out far enough.

It's a legality thing, beadlock wheels are not DOT approved. If mounted in the traditional DOT position, it's just a regular wheel and there should be no reason they can't fix it.
