That wheel concept looks like a great idea! I’ve never been in trouble for running non DOT compliant wheels or tires on anything under a 10K GVW. Maybe I’ve just been lucky, IDK.

Fred, in regards to the TPMS for your EARLY JL, 1) Buy an old set of rollers from a basic steel wheel JL, use them, and resell the wheels. That’ll give you TPMS usually for free. I specifically keep an early set of steel wheels stacked specifically for this purpose. OR 2) RockAuto has a SET of these for about $100 in total. OR 3) the EARLY build 2020 Gladiators used the correct sensors and you can usually get a set for super cheap. It’s where I got my SECOND set of TPMS for my 2018 JL.

The reason why people say that beatlock wheels are not DOT approved is because the DOT definition of a Pneumatic Wheel and Tire combination is that air holds the bead to the wheel, in a true beadlock Air does not hold the bead to the wheel, the ring and bolts hold the bead to the wheel hence not a DOT defined combo, in the ICON system however, air does hold the bead to the wheel and so could be called DOT compliant, the bolts act as a secondary bead holder.

@@dmerc374 might be the same as what I’ve read but maybe put in a different way. I think I always thought they weren’t street legal in some states due to a potential failure point that could result in a rapid loss of air pressure (aka blowout). Not sure if it’s actually been tested to show that or all just theoretical though.
@CraigGrunenfelder5 ай бұрын
yeah I don't think so. DOT doesn't have that definition that I have ever seen.
@LukeEdward5 ай бұрын
DOT needs to have the wheel’s air holding ability, a safety item, to be maintenance free. Beadlock wheels need routine maintenance to keep the bolts on the locking ring correctly torqued. It would be akin to rotating your brake light bulbs. The reason you won’t get a ticket because if a safety item is safe, there’s no infraction. Do your brake lights work? Yes? No broken laws. No way for the officer to know that you have to rotate your bulbs. They just work.

@@dmerc374 Thanks, but standard 571.109 only applies to the tire construction, testing, etc build before 1975. Standard 571.139 if or light vehicles tires. That did lead me to find 571.110 which covers Rims. Section S4.4 under (571.110) and specifically S4.4.2.b states multi piece wheel and does not say they are not allowed. I'm not seeing anything that addresses beadlocks.

When you are driving in heavy snow conditions the tire can fall off ether side so inner beadlocks can be beneficial.

Over here in Australia, you will get a ticket for running beadlocks. There's an Aussie company called Second Air that makes a pneumatic beadlock solution that goes inside the tyre and locks both beads. You should check them out Fred!

When I was looking at new wheels, I really wanted to try the Icon Rebound Pro's but they didn't have a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. That's the problem with a lot of these newer wheel companies. They don't make the older pattern.

Curious how those beadlocks work? Would love to hear a followup on this after you've had them for a while. Seems like it would be alot faster and easier to mount. Wonder how easy it is to seat the bead with all the bolts not snugged up and sealed yet.
@weaselduke5 ай бұрын
Will it still prevent the tire from spinning on the rim?
@ALMX5DP5 ай бұрын
I am not sure if the pins apply pressure to the bead area especially since beads can probably differ a bit between model or brand. I also don’t see any knurling either on the seating surface.

What I don't understand is why I can't buy any wide wheels with very little backspacing. The 17's are always 9" wide or less, why? I want deep wide wheels so I don't need wheel spacers or full width axles. Every Jeep around here has wheel spacers front and rear because nobody sells wide deep wheels anymore.
