Why did you decide to run allen head bolts in the lock rings vs something like a recessed F911 or grade 8 bolt?

One my offroad buggy I run Trail Ready beadlocks. My bolt heads get trashed from dragging them across the rocks. To the point where getting a socket on them is challenging. I can see the allen head bolts being even more challenging to remove if the bolt heads gets damaged and you cannot get the allen socket into the bolt head. Not to mention the allen heads will fill up trail debris. First time you slide your wheel along a downed tree or go through some mud those heads will fill up with junk.

These are recessed in the ring to prevent damage - how recessed are the trail ready bolts; they look a little more exposed? When the fastener is recessed, either hex head or allen heads, there is going to be digging mud and muck out to get a socket or hex key on the fastener - easy work for the pressure washer. We have replacement rings too. We can easily make one for hex head bolts, people can choose their preference.

They are recessed but not completely, so they do take a beating. Good to know that you can build them with 6 point bolt heads.

Have there been any deliveries of these yet? I'm holding off on ordering until the product becomes real.

Now time to get some tires mounted on those things and on the truck!

These look like a great option.

These look amazing!

So, I am new to beadlocks, but if I took these rims to, say, discount tire, would they:

a) know what to do with them
b) charge me a lot more for tire installs?

Or is this more of a specialized type of thing that I'd need to go to a tire shop that specializes in off road wheels and tires?

Let’s see them on a truck already! Cent wait

Good question. It is not 'difficult' to mount. It is actually easier, because one bead is just clamped in place. We have instructions for the mounting, will be something you can share with the tire mounter.
