Typical Beedlocks aren't DOT approved because the DOt doesn't have a test for them and doesn't want to spend the money to make one.
However this thread isn't about beadlocks. It's about fake beadlocks and that they actually do serve a function. Like this:
And this:
I don't worry about bending or tearing the lip, cutting the side wall on a torn lip, ripping off my valve stem or loser's on the rubicon trying to show me how stupid they are by making fun of my wheels. You want to spend $600 or more on a set of wheels go right ahead. To me that is pointless and stupid because I've never had a wheel come off the bead but I have had FUBARed wheels and tires - but I'm not going to go around telling people on the trail that becuase wtf do I know about them.
AND... I think they look great. Which is good enough a reason for anybody to get them if they want to. So all the l33t b336 l0ck dudes can kiss it!
Ahh I feel better.
