They are fake.

God, I thought I'd seen it all when 4WPW started advertising "Street Legal Beadlock-Look" rims with all the great tough looks of a beadlock *and* DOT approved.

Those are just ... wrong. Capital R, O, N, G, E, wrong.

[RGV72BLAZER]

those are about as useful as an asshole on my elbow...get some real beadlocks

 

[howdiy]

They are too expensive and I don't need them

 

[bigjbear]

If you're worried about $$$ why do you want to buy hub caps?

 

[howdiy]

They look cool

We don't have rocks or anything in florida so no need to air down

And also I found them for 40$ not 100

Gay!!!!

 

[FOR MUD]

The only thing fake that's any good are fake breasts, at least their good for something.

Have you ever heard the saying "function over form"?

If you do much mudding, you should be airing down a little as well. Wider footprint = less stuck time.

Those belong on on a generic mall crawler that never sees dirt. If that in what you are doing go to town. Like most people with 4wheelers they put a bunch O bling on it and never ever see the dirt and the only water crossings they hit are in the gutter driving into their driveway on that note, GO FOR IT. at least others can get a good laugh.

 

[howdiy]

I bet no one will ever know the difference

Also I have done some mall crawling, after a hurricane the parking load was floaded with water up to 4 feet deep

It's not like im being a complete poser. I don't have 33's and a stock blazer

I have a 78 stepside with cut fenders and 39'' tsl's and soon to the 3/4 ton axles

They are mostly to hold me off untill I can get some real bead locks

Street Locks

I got some (non real bead locks ) Called Street locks a while back, as they are NOT real bead locks they are not for hard core climbing , BUT the bead lip is extra thick and does protect the bead from damage, from moderate rocks and stumps. I didnt know how well they would work until i got into a accident. A S10 hit my Montero ( i also have 2 K5s ) at about 30 mph hit the left rear Q Panel dead on and spun me around. The Wheel took 90% of the impact. Small dent on the body but the rim was bent a good 15 degrees... but the bead DIDNT break , no air loss, and it got me the 2 or 3 blocks to the tire shop so they could help me change it. No they are not real bead locks, and if i was doing hard core comp crawling id use real bead locks, but for a DD that does some trail hopping and stump jumping the ones i have are better than stock rims but if course not as good as real bead locks. A nice middle road.
