Faked bead locked wheels?

I was wondering if anyone knew of companies that make these fake bead locked wheels. I am having a hard time finding companies that make these wheels. Please post with your suggestions. Thank you.

Wow... TONS of companies are doing this now. Fake B-Locks are the 'in' thing now.

Weld makes 'em... those are some of the best lightweight wheels around.

What style are you looking for?

Well, define affordable. Welds are on the high side, but you get what you pay for. Check 'em out at Weldracing.com.

Also look at the vendors right under your nose: https://www.f150online.com/products/wheels.html

The welds are nice..... but they are like $400 something per wheel.

Do you know of any other companies?

Pro Comp, Mickey Thompson and Eagle Alloy all make inexpensive simulated beadlock wheels. I have the Eagle Alloy 102, which is a copy of the Weld Stonecrusher. Eagle's website is www.americaneaglewheel.com.

Also look at American Racing. They have several styles of simulated beadlocks. I am running the Diamond Locks in 16x8 w/285/75/16's and love the way the truck looks.

Check these sim bead locks...

Hey Bonefish, check these wheels out... they're from ProComp Xtreme and they're completely wild! The dealership in my area had an '04 Screw with the ProComp 6" lift (yup, with the coilovers!) and these wheels mounted up. They looked great!

Might be a b***ch to keep clean, but, hey, getting 'em dirty is half the fun, right?

I have a set of Pro Comp Extreme Alloys series 1079 in 18x9 with 6-135mm bolt pattern in the bead lock. They look great and I just got them but now I am moving and need to try to get rid of. I also have mounted on them Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials 33x13.50/18. I love these tires so I dont know what Im going to do.
