speaking of Trail-Gear (im not trying to bash them at all), Have you seen the trail-gear TV episodes on their website? I couldn't believe they posted those! It seems to me that the videos portray a complete lack of safety or concern for property. Their driving skills are VERY in question with me. I'm not sure if I would want to wheel with those guys

Alright people! This is freakin driving me CRAZY!!! Every time someone responds to this thread I look for the beadlocks on the site. I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer...BUT I DON'T SEE THEM ANYWHERE!!! C'mon, where are they???

Not to knock the TG beadlocks, but there is one wheel that is the stereotypical '80s wheel...their wheels look just like 'em. Definitely ghetto.


I know, now that I've posted this, I'm going to look and they'll be on the first page.

Well I couldnt wait any longer to get the wheels so I ended up getting some Allieds and I am very happy with the quality. 32 grade 8 bolts, steel ring, aluminum wheel with VERY thick centers (forged as well). I will report back after I get them out on the trail.

not cheap but they are aluminum wheels and have a forged center, 32 bolts and they are light. Not to mention the centers are incredibly thick. TR aluminums dont compare.

If you guys are looking for beadlocks, you might also want to consider Beadlock Specialties. I have always been a Champion Wheel fan myself but these guys took it to the next level. I will be picking up a set this week and I'll post pics once they are on my truck. Check them out at http://www.beadlockspecialties.com/
