ford raptor bead lock wheels legal in any state in USA?

[vamsye]

I'm buying a raptor tomorrow.
It has beadlock wheels on it. I'm not sure if they are legal in Maryland, va, dc and all other states.

these are factory installed wheels.

any help is appreciated.

The beadlock wheels you buy with your truck have "beauty rings" on them
those are 100% legal

If you buy the Ford beadlock trim rings, you can convert the wheels to beadlock wheels. However, in this configuration, they are not street legal anywhere in the U.S.

Hope that helps! Congrats on the purchase and welcome to FRF!

no one will pull you over for running beadlock wheels on the street.

Cops would sometimes write a ticket for bead locks here in SoCal, but that was15 years ago. There are so many fake locks now, I think they gave up.

Anybody really know why beadlocks are illegal? If the secure the tire better than 'normal' wheels what's wrong with that?

Google is your friend and there's a lot of beadlock related information on the net.

Most "beadlocks" are fakes and there are issues with real beadlocks that owners need to be aware of.
