I know there is a thread about the color of the rings but here is some info people might not know or understand about a “true bead-locked wheel”
I just found this out, even if you have the bead-lock capable rims from Ford you will need 4 of these from ford performance (https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-1021-F15RB) ($800 list) to lock the bead and then the tire is “DOT off road use only” at that point.
I know everyone is waiting for this wheel but why at this point? Several sets are listed on ebay at this time and are not selling very well. Do an advanced search on ebay and look at sold listing.
I canceled my wheels on January 12 and my truck was built January 27. Truck will be here this month. I liked the looks of the bead-locks rims but they are just looks. They are not “bead-locked” from the factory.
If you want a “true bead-locked off road set” you would need to different sets of rims and tires anyway to be street legal.
