Beadlock wheels

[morphed86k10]

I've been thinking of getting some 15" beadlocks and was wondering if anyone had some input on them? Eaton (which I've heard generally good things about) makes a 15X10 beadlock for about $130 a piece, but the Trail Ready equivalent is like $200! Why is there such a large price difference between the two?

I was quoting just the basic 15X10, I know I'll need to get some 8 lug wheels with non-stock backspacing, which will add a bit to the price. But the comparison is still pretty equal.

Anybody with experience on the Allied (steel) bead locks?

I've got the eaton 15x10 beadlock wheels. You can order them with 8 lugs, and 3 1/2" backspacing for free. I ended up paying $690 for all 5 sent to my door. Took like 5 weeks though.

Trail Ready builds in a centering ring on the wheel, I don't know of anyone else that does that on a steel wheel. That's the majority of the price difference I'm sure. I'm not sure how the wide alum retaining ring affects price. That's my best guess. I don't know about the type of wheel they start with, they may not be exactly the same either.
