Beadlock Variant Options

[Bandit’s Lair]

So I’ve been looking at wheels a good bit lately. Weighing options between a few and would like to hear some solid feedback on a few of them. Below are the ones on my Final Cut List. If you have, or have had, any of them or have opinions on them fire away.

I have the Icons. If you’re getting beadlocks because you actually need them, you will grind the outer rims hard and they won’t be as beautiful as new for long. I learned Icon does not sell bronze touch-up paint either.

Might be a point in favor of beadlocks with replaceable outer bash rings, if cosmetics matter. Or stick to basic silver or black. I don’t really care and they’re usually covered in mud anyway.

The pins and o-ring seals have held up fine on mine

@fourfa Thanks! That is a concern. I’d be doing a bedliner on them if I do get them and they are wheels so rash is going to be expected. Has the damage you’ve seen to them been about normal for any off-road wheel or worse?
