Upgraded Wheel Question

[MG21]

Found a set of 20’ headlock takeoffs for $1500 locally. Gonna pick em up Monday.

I don’t hate the standard alloys. The beadlocks with the beauty ring look **** but they’re a no go in rust land.

That's how I felt when I ordered my truck, I had planned on aftermarket wheels until I found out almost everything aftermarket is made to poke out so far. I'm not a fan of the bumped out wheel look. I figured I'd try getting mine powder coated and see if I liked it. Totally different look that I really liked, once they were done.

17/18 beadlocks on the lead foot looks amazing IMO here is ours!

To be honest FaceBook Marketplace! Was super patient but eventually found them

Thanks! Just the rings, or the wheels with the rings? I have a 17 with the headlock ready wheels, so am just needing the rings. I did a search and they want over $600 a set just for the rings! That’s crazy.

both actually, we were able to get our hands on 3 extra wheel setups on FB Marketplace at around. $1200 a set, and then find the rings as well. IIRC we were paying around $500 a set for the rings.

Current setup is three sets of factory beadlocks, One fitted to Nokian Hakkappalettica LT3's for snow/winter driving, one set fitted to BFG KM3's for muddy/sandy terrain and the other fitted to BFG K02 for daily driving/fast trails.

They're billet machined aluminum, it's a piece that requires a large piece of stock to cut it from which is a large contributor to why the cost is so high and machine cycle time likely isn't very low. Add in all the hardware and the price makes sense. You'd be paying three or four times that for someone to make you an equivalent set at a machine shop. I think $600 isn't outrageous considering how much more capable it makes the wheels and is certainly a good bit cheaper than any aftermarket bead locking wheels.
