How much they charging you? Just got quoted $25 per for true beadlock rings (gen 1)

A Metallic silver, similar to the color on my Gen 1 and almost an exact match to the Ford hubcap

I got the same quote, but also decided to go with a powder coat clear on top for extra protection, so it brought my price to $40 each...$160 out the door.

take the time to do the one on the spare too, i know from experience

Interesting! I had no idea that there was a full rim with beauty ring as the spare...I figured it was an ugly, different version. There's actually a full rim with a beauty ring under the bed?

 

[marilynsride]

there was on the gen 1 i assume its the same on a gen 2

The spare is a full on matching spare with trim ring and all.

i would go with the gorilla lug nuts as well, dont know about gen 2 but the stockers on gen 1 were those two piece things that get screwed up pretty quickly (seeing crash's mod list reminded me)

 

[crash457]

Yeah, I chunked 2 pretty good just removing them to install the Gorillas. The stockers are crap.

Good point @Huck

Here's a picture of the wheel with the beadlock ring sans tire on the G1 wheels for reference. With the tire in the inside flange it would be a large, weird gap.

I don't think the gap would be all that noticeable since the tire bulges out and may not make the gap appear so wide...but that's just me thinking out loud. The true BL rings look way better than the beauty rings, but at $200/wheel, I'm not going that route. I'm not a fan of how far under the truck they sit. I'd like to go about an inch more offset....but not quite as far out as the Methods sit. In hindsight, I prob shouldn't have spent the extra for the beadlocks....but they're the better choice of the 2 available wheels.
