[QUOTE="sunburned, post: 9831288, member: 30336"] Beadlocks made by Hutchinson (rock monster) are DOT legal. They make wheels for AEV as well, which is a big aftermarket supplier to Jeep. They use the same technology as Military H1 wheels where the wheel is actually two halves that bolt together in the middle. A ring on the inner drum of the wheel pinches the beads of the tires to the inner bead of the wheels when the wheels are bolted together. You could run with no air pressure and the tires still wouldn't come off. These are known as double beadlocks and are very good offroad. Lots of guys even run H1 wheels for this feature. Almost all the beadlocks you see out there are just single beadlocks. I guess technically they aren't street legal, but I doubt you'll have many cops stop you for it. They are only unsafe because the bolts are known to work themselves loose, so you just have to torque them down every few weeks or so. Agreed. I don't think the TF style wheels look good on an offroad truck like this. Check out Allied, Trail Ready, Walker Evans, Poison Spyder and other offroad beadlock wheel companies and their designs look awesome on all sorts of trucks and buggies. With all the dark grey accents on the Raptor and not one shiny thing on the whole outside, I think a chrome/polished wheel would look horrible and out of place. At least powdercoat it grey or silver.
