Stock Bead lock rings for daily

[562ranger]

Does anyone here actually have the upgraded bead lock rings for the stock wheels in use for daily driving? Im debating to use them on mines but my car is my daily and im a bit concerned about the safety of them driving on highway. I've looked throught the forum and haven't heard anyone saying they popped a bead or anything.

This post contains the most thorough description of the reality of living with beadlocks that I’ve ever seen. I’d recommend it to anyone considering them.

If you don’t want to install them yourself, consider this:

Most shops will not mount bead lock wheels. The ones that do, charge appropriately for the work. We have a local off road shop and they charge $125 an hour to mount bead lock wheels. I would hate to image what it would have cost if I had to have the 7 broken bolts extracted from the wheels. Granted they would have been a little faster than me as they have a lift and tire machines, but still expect to spend at least $500 or so to get them done right.

Ok thanks for the clarification, I wasn't aware most shops wouldn't work on them

I have been running bead locks on my 25 since last November without any issues or concern's.

Yyeah I ended up returning the rings and just powder coating the stock ones. There's some info out there saying if you get into an accident from a blow out insurance will fight you about it. So I didnt want to deal with any of that.
