Beadlocks...??
Can someone enlighten me on beadlocks? What are they for? I like the look of them. Are they worth having? How do you put them on or do you get the pros to do it? Are they expensive? Any links you can share?
I want to buy another set of mickeythompson classic 2's in black with chrome center cap, chrome lugs, and chrome beadlock. Is this doable or what
Details facts please explain.

Thanks.
Well from everything I read ( and that wasn't everything) it seems legal. But regardless I'm gonna go do 80 mph in a school zone and when the cop pulls me over I'll ask him what he thinks! .... < that's a joke
I just don't understand why something like that would be illegal. Some guy on that forum said he "heard" that it's cause if your being chased by the police and they try to do the tac strip or shoot out your tires then the tire won't co

True bead locks sandwich the outside bead between a lip on the wheel and the other lock ring. The ring is then bolted I'm place to pinch and lock the outer bead to the wheel. This allows the tire to be aired down lower and have the tire still stay on the rim. They are not legal for street use
In most states due to the bolts. If the bolts Posen the bead can unseat from the rim, could be dangerous. For this reason many do not have a dot stamp on them.
Simulated bead locks on the other hand are perfectly legal
heres a nice cross section of how beadlocks are set up.
