Rocktrix Beadlock Wheels?

[Trail_Limo_Tim]

Anyone running Rocktrix beadlock wheels? Is there pricing always like this or are they actually on sale right now?

Not sure, but willing to bet imported.

From their YouTube short:

FWIW, my Method wheels were manufactured in China and they were very high quality. In my experience there’s two end results from Chinese manufacturers: best quality or worst quality… and almost nothing in between. Just make sure it’s not worst quality.

You could spend a little more and not have to build a beadlock wheel and save weight. https://www.methodracewheels.com/collections/bead-grip-wheels

Fair point. I had Method 703s on my last truck and they were great. I wanted to maybe try some beadlocks this time. I do like the Method 701s on Gladiators. The weight of those is more than other models.

Method 701 17x8.5 = 31.7 lbs
Method 701 17x9 = 32.4
Rocktrix RT117BL beadlock= 33-34 lbs (depending on offset/BS)

Rocktrix told me the listed weight includes the beadlock ring.

I have a some DirtLife wheels that are same concept to the Rocktrix wheels, they to are from China and are well done.

Beadlock wheels by nature are heavy wheels, my Dirt life wheels are about 42 lbs and my 37's 80 lbs the full weight is about 120 lbs. I only notice the weight removing the wheels, the EcoD doesn't really care.

The rocktrix are a good price I was in for about 535/wheel when i got the rings to go with the wheels.

Hell yeah. Are you regeared? I see people saying beadlocks are heavy, but I mean we are gonna be running 80-100 lbs of tire so…

Not regeared yet, but will. It's manageable but would like a little more gear.

Bored old men talk about weight when they have nothing elses to occupy their time.
20lbs saving on a aluminum bumper on a 6000 lb rig..... really?

I don't have their beadlock wheels but have run their non- beadlock wheels. Really good quality wheel for an exceptional price

Lol. Even bored old men gotta talk about SOMETHING.
