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?

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.

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.

For the Hutchinson wheels have a talk to Proformance over here in WA.

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 .
