Anyone have an idea what the aev pintler Beadlocks are worth? Set of 5 in tj bolt pattern. Looking at buying a set and want to make sure it's a deal. Anyone running these wheels? Looking for feedback on them. I've read a few ppl striped the bolt holes before they were completely torqued. No need to pay for used wheels with a premium price if I'll run into issues when I can purchase new Beadlocks a different brand without head ache. Just want to feed back. Thanks.

All depends on condition. Mint in pristine condition you might find somebody to pay 225-250 a wheel. I bought some Argent Bridgers in mint conditon a little while back and paid a premium, but you’ll never see those wheels in that condition again. Do you have pictures?
Suppose to be sending me some this evening. He has the beadlock rings and all the hardware
If you can find someone willing to sell Pintler beadlocks at that price, send them my way. That'd sure beat buying Trail Ready at a much higher price.
I'm also curious about that. I'd imagine the Trail Ready's are better in some way, but I probably don't wheel hard enough to ever figure out why they are better. New TR's are almost $500 a wheel and I like the looks of the AEV's better anyway.

Are they NOS? If so that changes things big time. New old stock could go 500 per wheel for sure. Hell its whatever somebody wants to sell them for honestly. This stuff is crazy expensive when it pops up for sale.

There was a set here in a 17" that sold for 1400. That was missing a few bolts and some trail/road rash
If there was a set of pintler beadlocks in nice condition for sale around that price, I'd definitely jump on them. TR's would be nearly $2350 for a set of 5. I'm probably not getting beadlocks for another few months so I guess I better start looking for some 5x4.5 Pintlers!
He was asking $1000 but after getting the photos I was disappointed. If anyone were to buy them they have to have them powdercoated and new centers ordered. Maybe hardware too. I think you'd be to far into them at that point.
I do not believe they are from California. They do how were look like they need ALOT of tlc.
Yeah I have never looked into the cost of powder coating but I would assume if you could buy them for $100 a wheel you may still end up in over your head once it was all completed. On the positive side they do not appear to have bad rock rash.

The caught fire reverence is pretty funny and it really appears that they did hahaha. Man that guy is smoking something heavy if he thinks he could even get 400 for those. Wow!
