Black Beadlock/Cheap Beauty Rings

[NateTTU]

I’m picking up a set of local SAS wheels, but the beadlock rings are gray and my Bronco is fully blacked out—there’s no gray left anywhere. Are there any reasonably priced black ring options out there? Most of what I’m seeing online is close to $400, which is nearly what I paid for the wheels themselves.

I initially considered running without the rings except for off-road use, but it looks like the wheel underneath is gray as well. Any alternative solutions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Seen several people on here paint them with good results. Seems like some have also powder coated for less than a fortune.

You can check these out, especially if you are going to be doing some offroading. Black is an option. I have color matched ones and they have been great.

Just curious, but how much do you think these beadlock rings would fetch on the marketplace if I decided to do that and just buy new ones? I can buy a set of all black wheels for an extra $200. honestly might be worth it versus the hassle of paiting or trying to sell a set.

Just ended up buying a set of Wildtrack wheels that have black on black. May cost a few extra bucks, but saves a lot of hassle. At this point I'd rather pay to get these mods done and enjoy the car.

Maybe a dumb question, but does a device like this affect wheel balance? I kind of like them.

OP, just pull the beauty rings off and paint them. Somebody posted a thread on here a few years ago on how to do it and I followed their instructions. It is pretty simple —> took me a couple of hours one Saturday

I have been running these for at least the last 10 thousand miles, never noticed anything that affected the wheel balance.

For less than what I would have paid for new rings, I found an extra set of used rings, took mine off and had all 10 powder coated. I have 5 spare rings ready to install if I scuff them having fun.

Speaking of beauty rings. Any recommendations on replacement bolts? If factory are best, have a part number?

Pulled mine off and had a local place powder coat them. Charged me 100 bucks. I painted all the bolt heads black with rustoleum gloss black. Holding up well so far.

ooo i recall these being an issue but I don't recall the resolution. Should be something around here though, it was a hot topic a couple years back
