Really ferd? no bead lock?

I bought a “new to me” 2017 Raptor and it has “bead lock” wheels. How do I tell if the PO converted them to “true” beadlocks?

I’ve never had bead locks before.

bead lock rings are usually bare aluminum, and have dozens of screws in them. The beauty rings only have a handful of screws holding them on.

I looked at my wheels - there are only 12 bolts holding on the rings. I think the true bead lock rings have 24 bolts, correct???

Around that, yes. You just have beauty rings. Which are still beautiful.
