Just take them off. As mentioned, if they use the pry bar, they will get scratched. I loosened them with a ratchet then put the torx socket on my regular drill to screw them out quickly. To tighten, just do a slight snug; no reason to torque them all crazy. Attached is a pic of what they look like without the ring.

right, I think the dealer has best deals on tires anyway, and I will for sure remove the rings before I take them to the dealership when the time comes to get new tires.

The beadlock tires are a pain in the ass. I am not sure why owners get them. And I bet most owners will never truly use them as intended.
Because I like the looks of the beadlocks - they rock! And since they're not real beadlocks, I'll be using them exactly as intended. ;)

I left my beauty rings on I just got tires last week dealer had no issue with them. And if they came out and were marked up I would’ve had them buying replacements.

Let’s face facts. The most hideous thing about this pic is not crack attack, it’s his antiquated way of holstering his phone. :lol:
