Aftermarket Wheels/Beadlocks

[MRxGREEN]

If this are OEM wheels, there have the trim ring mounted.
I would recommend to remove the trim rings prior to mounting the tires.
If you intend to install them in bead lock configuration you need to get the forged bead lock rings.

Why do you recommend removing the trim rings?

I talked to the guy. He said his owner has an affinity for wheels and bought some stock. It is also a good deal considering the beadlock wheels are a 1100 dollar option on the truck. I paid 2k upfront and the dude shipped me the wheels. I swill ship stock wheels back and he will credit me $650.

Dude...that silver ring with the bolts comes off. So you got the wheel and the beauty rings. You should have the silver rings removed when having your tires installed so they don't get torn up and then put back on afterwards. All the rest will transfer including the center cap.

As stated already, you can buy the beadlock rings at an additional cost should you want to run a true beadlock setup. Otherwise it's all for looks, which is just fine!

A number of members reported damaged beauty rings from tire installation on the Gen1 bead lock wheels.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up guys. I have never done this before (finally at a time in my life where I can afford it). I will be sure to mention to my dealer, that the beauty rings should be removed prior to tires installed. Really appreciate all the commentary.

For reference so you kind of understand what is going on with the wheel. The tire will sit on the inside lip of the wheel and not the ring. Ring is simply for looks in this setup.

I bought 5. The eBay order of 4 plus I called them and they sold me a fifth for my spare tire. Luckily, I bought all these before they raised prices.

If anyone is selling the trim rings off the OEM beadlocks, I'm interested. I'm talking the beauty rings that come standard.
