[QUOTE="Laurie, post: 594693, member: 4655"] Ok - good info... Personally love the circular hole design - it blends with my other two rigs - although I'll be repainting the black part to a light silver, or doing a chrome paint process to match. (I've read that actually chroming the alloy wheel can have structural side effects). Personally think the design is lost being black. [img]http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/921746_10151418782507647_436761704_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/887208_10151344493432647_2078179147_o.jpg[/img] For us here in Dubai the dealership has made the beadlock-style wheel a default option - they like to bring in all their cars fully optioned as they work on margins rather than volume... so... as I've essentially bought the wheels anyway and the functional rings will be way cheaper to ship than a full set of wheels - it does sorta make sense financially in this situation. I will be using the truck in soft sand and as a result will definitely be running low pressures - and will have a heavy duty air compressor on board to re-inflate. So... as long as there's no functional reason / weakness to be concerned about - then I'm happy :) [/QUOTE]
