Default Walker Evans Beadlock Wheels

I've been looking at the Walker Evans Beadlock wheels, anybody running them, and if so how much did you pay for them. They are pretty pricey (325 a piece)

Thanks

Gary

speaking from an offroad standpoint, having been in the offroad world for a decade or better, I can say that Walker Evans makes the best beadlocks out there.. Period.. BUT.. Why would you need Beadlocks (which are not DOT approved or street legal) for a fullsize truck, a brand new one at that? Am I missing something?

I thought they were along the lines of the Mickey Thompson classic locks, not really a true beadlock but just for looks. I like the beadlock look. I'm getting ready to do suspension work, gears and new wheels and tires. So it wont be stock much longer.

Clear things up?

Actually, now that you mention it, I think WE does make a simulated beadlock... The wheels are TOP quality, and you can't go wrong with them. If you plan on going with simulated beadlocks, then WE is th way to go.

Trust me, I wish I was in a place where I needed real beadlocks, but unfortunately home is where the Coast Guard takes me and right now it's VA.

Thanks for the input though

I appreciate it

Gary

Hutchinson Wheels makes some street legal beadlocks http://www.hutchinsoninc.com/ I'm sure they're not cheap.
