Anyone have experience with these steel wheels? Debating whether they are worth the $55 a piece. Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.

Isn't "extreme" on the "Community" buzzword list? I thought so...

Make sure that you check your local laws if you are going to use those on the street. Beadlocks aren't legal for street use in some places.

Eric is correct there not DOT approved, I guess im breaking the law by driving them on the street, one more thing for California to hassle me about.

The beauty of this design is it mounts the the outer bead to the same contour as the orginal bead, there is no stress on the side wall like the old style bead locks. Also mine have never leaked air since i installed them... They are DOT approved in New Zeland...

MM Its on the out side, no need for an inner, if you twist this loose the tire is shreaded...
