Had to replace the KMC wheels with Walker Evans 501 after having 3 flats with beadlock wheels no one in the city would help fix them, so I got tired of it. The Walker Evans 501 are false beadlockers.

I've always liked the Legend. It's nice that they're being mfgr'd by Ultra. Makes them more available and priced better. I bet a flush mount billet cap would look great in that wheel.

Just looking at these instead of method. Tried to find out if they are made in the states and did not find anything definitive on it. Anyone know for sure? Could do without helping China anymore than we already have:)

They're made in china. The forged beadlocks are made in usa but they are around $700 a wheel. PM Forged is another USA built wheel but also big $$. Eagle will probably be the only US built cast wheel with a fair price.

Figures. Thanks. I saw the expensive ones and figured they would be made in the states. They are overkill for my needs though.

That's probably why everyone goes with methods. Thanks again for the info!

Definatly made in China...rather not go that route, but there it is. Was thinking of another flush mount cap...or maybe just remove them...Was thinking of removing the black paint off the ring as well. Wonder if they had to rough up the metal for paint application?

Also...will sell the KMC XD222's since I will no longer need them. Total of (5) wheels...will post soon...The wheels are over a year old on the truck. This pic is new out of the box, but only pic availible at this time. traveling now and will clean them up and post ...
