[QUOTE="LekRap, post: 868378, member: 15006"] Hey [MENTION=16697]Aramco Raptor[/MENTION], yeah, all of the Method "street wheels" are nothing but a simulated Beadlock. There is no ring, the wheel is all one piece and the bolts are solely for looks. They serve no purpose other than to simulate the look of the Beadlock. With that said, I initially was interested in the real deal "race series" wheels that were a true Beadlock. But as I researched and talked to guys with the real beadlocks, they are frankly a pain in the ass if your truck is a daily driver. Method recommends that the 96 bolts on the 4 wheels be re-torqued....EVERY 200 miles!!! I've talked to guys that said that it doesn't have to be done that often, but still, even every 1,000 miles means that I would have had to re-torque 96 bolts, 18 separate times in the past year that I've owned my truck. Basically, beadlocks are for an extra set of wheels that are soley used for offroad. The "street version" wheels are for everyday driving. I've had some fun and know guys that have beat on and aired down the "street versions" with zero problems. Hope that helps man! [/QUOTE]
