Beadlock-capable Wheels

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to purchasing the rings. But the good thing about beadlocks is you can change your own tires with a little ingenuity and no longer require a shop. I have Trail Ready beadlocks on my 07 diesel Ram and I didn't realize beadlock on the RHO/TRX beadlock-capable wheels was a matter of which side of the lip the outer bead is on. A dedicated beadlock could be lighter because the lip wouldn't have to function both ways - it would just be the surface for the ring to clamp the outer bead against. Also with beadlock ring that much farther out, I'm wondering what these wheels look like in beadlock configuration. Seems like the rings might be way more exposed to rocks and curbs.
Is this really true? I know if they are dual beadlocks (i.e. inner and outer) then it's easy peazy. If both the inside and outside are true beadlocks then I agree. I used to race ATV motocross - so spent 10+ years dealing with beadlocks - some dual, but most just had them on the outside where all of the load was when cornering.
 
I don’t recommend this look.

Not sure I'm a fan of the blue, but I do like that darker gray on the wheel. I've seen some of these on TRXs and since I have an all black truck coming, I wouldn't mind a bit of contrast with the wheel but a bit more than the OEM color on RHOs - which is pretty light.
 
Did you have that powder coated? I love it, that's exactly what I had envisioned.
That's not my truck. Just a sample pic I grabbed from the TRX forum. But yes, a lot of guys have powder coated their beauty rings.

know of any aftermarket company, or mopar, that makes these or is painting the only option? I think these look very good

I haven’t seen any colored rings for sale, other than from people who powder coated them.
 
So, I really don’t like the silver ring on the factory beadlock-capable wheels. I think I’d be much happier if it were powder coated to match the wheel, or maybe a little darker. Does that ring serve any purpose - Meaning can it be removed without losing tire pressure? Also, anyone try powder coating the ring? Are there aftermarkets already painted?
I am thinking the same.....
 
You could plastidip them or buy the rings for the lunar edition trx that came in black.

any chance you know the part number for those?
 
No, but here is a vin off of a Lunar Edition TRX if you want to call the parts dept 1C6SRFU98PN671382.

Pretty sure the forged factory beadlocks wheels are north of 1500.00 a piece
I know the 2nd gen raptors were...
I wouldn't be surprised if the trim ring is also forged aluminum hence the price

Noted before, there are used sets often. It would be fun to get some with curb or other minor damage and try some different powder coat colors.
