Simulated beadlocks?

zfinger · Nov 7, 2005

So I'm looking at getting some black rims, maybe the US Wheel Daytonas. I like the look of them with the simulated beadlocks.

My question is... are fake beadlocks gay? Will I be a tool if I have the fake ones? Is this the equivalent of a big wing on a honda? Or am I safe from flames if I get um...

2" lift on a 97', with BFG AT 30's BTW.

They're not really gay just.....very poser like.Most people wont know the difference unless they actually wheel so unless you tell everyone they're fake, you should be OK. And I personally have nothing against fake ones, if I came across a set, I'd get 'em.

Oops, dont read my post....I didnt see that they're going on a 2" lift...
Then I say yes to you being flamed and possibly being called a tool.
Sorry man.

shimmy · Nov 7, 2005

yeah i'd have to agree, that its kinda lame, but not gay. gay would be putting some chrome bling bling rims on any hardcore 4xXJ. IMO simulated beadlocks look cool on a bigger rig, but whats the point? you might as well slap a dump load of stickers on your rig and walk around claiming your sponsored! GAY

mack · Nov 7, 2005

fake beadlocks are cool!!.......:shhh:

Matt98XJ · Nov 7, 2005

I wouldn't get um. My personal opinion.

zfinger · Nov 7, 2005

I'll be ordering the rims soon, I can decide on the fake beadlocks later on in life...

And you guys know the 2" lift wont last long, this shit is addicting

noresttill · Nov 7, 2005

Well, I'm kinda of the persuasion that REAL beadlocks on a rig with 2" lift would be worse.....

I say if you like 'em, run 'em - you won't be the first to have put them on and at least you're running some lift.

FWIW, I run the fakes just because I can't afford the true locks. I needed something tougher than traditional steel rims and the fakes have held up to some pretty intense hardcore 'wheeling so far - the added rolled outter lip really does strengthen the rim.

johnlv6 · Nov 7, 2005

I like the plain rockcrawlers....you can't beat them for $50 ish.

xjjeepthing · Nov 7, 2005

I have em , I like em got them a year ago Qtech had them on sale for $60 each. If want them get them it your rig to each there own.

Roxtar · Nov 7, 2005

No, real beadlocks are gay, especially on a Cherokee.
Who the hell needs beadlocks to get fawking groceries?
Got big parking blocks?

Dookie · Nov 7, 2005

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. This is the only reason I run Street-locks, the reinforcement of the outer bead. After seeing what happens to regular steel and non-beadlock alums rims and to only have minor scraping of the paint off the rim. I'll stick with my slim-locks until the fundage for the real-thing is there.

Order what YOU want for YOUR jeep. Screw what other people think...

Kevlar · Nov 7, 2005

Why get beadlocks, just go all out and get spinners to go with your 15" sub and neon green "rock lights".

Yeah, after spending a hour getting the wood, rocks and dirt out of and straighting my g/f beads, she has regular steelies. And watching my buddy chip two factory aluminum rims and cracking another to the point of non-usable. Yeah, I'll stick with my story. :wave:

Plus they give me that I am a "Hardcore Rock Crawlin Pimp" look.

I know everybody wants to be like me :laugh3:
