Oil change for the engine & rear axle of the Willys today.
You know, I thought they were fakies when I ordered them but they’re true bead locks.
That’s the beauty of this wheel, you can run it simulated or actual bead locks. I’ve been running it as actual bead lock for almost 2 years, no issues....of course I had to clear it with Colby...........Thanks. They are one of my top contenders. Appreciate the response.
Nice to have choicesThat’s the beauty of this wheel, you can run it simulated or actual bead locks. I’ve been running it as actual bead lock for almost 2 years, no issues....of course I had to clear it with Colby............
Here’s the catch, you have to buy the bead lock rings separate at around 100.00 ea.

Yes, they come with a plastic simulated ring that protects the secondary lip used for real bead lock ring......Yeah... a little steep, but still a lot cheaper than kmc machetes..... lol...Nice to have choicesSo when ordering do they come with simulated ring attached? It appears @Stormin’ Moorman are setup as simulated today but hard to tell. The extra $ for rings is definitely ouch
That is true. Thanks for clarifyingYes, they come with a plastic simulated ring that protects the secondary lip used for real bead lock ring......Yeah... a little steep, but still a lot cheaper than kmc machetes..... lol...
I've been looking at the machined beadlocks and they are all pricey. Kinda like these: (they only show pics of 4drs)Yes, they come with a plastic simulated ring that protects the secondary lip used for real bead lock ring......Yeah... a little steep, but still a lot cheaper than kmc machetes..... lol...
I ordered manual mopar mirrors from BAM Wholesale Parts ( https://www.bamwholesaleparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-2018-2019-jeep-wrangler-jl-mirrors-82215138)Mike,
Awesome doors, what mirrors did you purchase?

What happens if you get a flat, are they easy to repair? Will any tire shop fix them? Does it cost more or less than "normal" wheels?Yes, they come with a plastic simulated ring that protects the secondary lip used for real bead lock ring......Yeah... a little steep, but still a lot cheaper than kmc machetes..... lol...
You can do it yourself, but it’s a pain in the ass. Some tire shops will do them, but it’s best to use a 4x4 shop. And it cost more to have them mounted and balanced, because it’s best to have them road force balanced. So if the road force number is to high, they have to take tire back off and spin it 180 degrees. The bolts in the ring have to be torqued in a certain sequence so that’s what makes it so time consuming, which is why it cost more.What happens if you get a flat, are they easy to repair?
