Show off your aftermarket wheels!

Mickey Thompson Challengers.

I truly love these wheels but, wheels are sort of a "wear item".

I have never run an aluminum non beadlock wheel, but I need to make a change before they are garbage.

I’m mad at my Jeep right now, especially the tires/wheels. They won’t act right, so we’re having a fight. It’s a very personal relationship we share. 🙄

For folks running beadlocks, do you keep a second set of non-deadlock wheels for when you're driving longer distances on the road? Recognizing that beadlocks are not DOT approved, my assumption is an insurance claim could be denied in the event of an accident.

Ok, we'll rephrase this to be in accordance to laws... There are only a few that meet SAE J2530 guidelines (internal bead-locks mainly). DOT only requires that the size, date, and origin of manufacture to be on the rim, and on vehicles over 10k GVWR and/or commercial need to comply with the SAE standard. The legality comes into play when you have an accident, and the insurance company argues you used unapproved/inappropriate gear on the road, and the court agrees with them.

In a world of aftermarket nearly everything on our jeeps I have my doubts that my tires being bolted to my wheels is going to make much difference.

But feel free to post up an instance of someone losing a court case or not being insured due to their beadlocks

The beadlocks look awesome but Im a sucker for Rubi styles wheels, even the 15" look killer!

EDIT: asked a question but got the answer from your profile. 💪👍 love the contrast paint on the GenRight fenders.

I kept the Moab setup and occasionally swap them out with the beadlocks.

15x8 “period correct” American Racing 5 Holes, all of the “rivets” have fallen off. Don’t know what model, they were on it when I bought it and they hold air

Those look like the stock OEM Ravine wheels I have on my '98 Sport. I think they are called Ravine. I still Have all of the rivets.
