Alloy beadlocks

Hey folks, it's been a while.
I'm after peoples opinions on alloy beadlock wheels.
I'm strongly considering getting some Rock Monster double beadlocks but they're very pricey and back spacing isn't ideal.
Obviously the Walker Evans are a good option and i've also been looking at these new Allied Savvana beadlocks, but they're new on the scene and i can't find any 1st hand feedback.
What other options are available for Patrols?
Any feedback is welcome.
cheers Jason

Yeah i researched them a bit.
Is someone selling them in Aus yet or did you bring em in?
Are they very heavy?
What did you put them on, a Patrol?
Can you get em with a low profile lock ring?
What's their load rating?

Have you got any info on them mate?
I've had a good look but can't find anything.
All of Pro Comps wheels seem to have "simulated beadlocks" or "beadlock styling"

Why not just weld a set of alloy beadlocks onto a set of Alloy rims? That way you can get and make whatever style you want.

Trail Ready is another option
Or get some good quality rims converted, below are Mickey Thompsons that have been converted.

I'm not sure if thats a very economical option (unless you already have the wheels , and are set up to TIG)?
Those Allied wheels can be had for $390 each

Yeah i've seen the KMC Enduros, i can get them over here through RaceGear WA.
Did you put em on a Patrol?
The back spacing was no good for me though, 4.75" on a 8.5" rim.

I run the new Allied locks Can't seem to fault them for the price. I have only driven on them for 6 days of wheeling thoe. They arn't super light caus they are fairly thick
I got them only a few days after they landed in Aus, I don't know how many they brought in.

They look a lot better fitted.

I agree, they look crap in the advertisement. Like there other wheels but on Rhetts they aren't too bad. Think they are rated at 2700lbs. Don't do a 8 bolt so no good to me.

I'm going for the Allied.
Thanks for your input fellas

looked into the hutchinsons a little more and it seems they are made for toyotas specifically and the centre bore is too small for gq diffs .
cant cbf getting them machined out .
