Can the Sasquatch wheels be used without the beadlock ring?

Can the Sasquatch wheels be used without the beadlock ring? Assuming/hoping it’s black underneath. I don’t like the silver ring part and probably won’t ever use the beadlock.

You can, but you'll have a bunch of exposed threaded holes.

Theoretically, yes. But that is only a trim ring from the factory. The wheel will look "incomplete" or basically taken apart IMHO.

The actual beadlock rings will have to be purchased from Ford and will have more bolts holding it on.

You're going to want to keep the beauty ring on. If you hate it, try to trade/sell your rims after you get it for something you like. Like the other poster said, you'll have exposed threading which looks bad.

@coolbreeze your best bet is probably to paint or powder coat that trim ring. Maybe go body color? You probably could even get it chromed if you wanted, that might be a nice little splash of color too.

yea powder coat is a good idea tbh.

Exactly. Some miss the "capable" part. I want to say it's $800 to actually make them beadlock.

Thanks everyone. Guess I’ll have them powder coated black or try to trade someone with a WT.

Here’s a pic of the sqautch wheel with the Ford beadlock ring on it (the one you can buy for like $700+). As you can see, there are A LOT of holes to hold the bead lock ring on. Therefoee, if you remove the beauty ring, there will be like 30 exposed holes and it will look odd.

I don’t think the warm alloy color is that bad (As I’m getting white and it kinda looks white-ish) but I plan to paint the warm alloy ring carbonized grey (for like $125) immediately after getting home with my new a Bronco.

I don't know if the rings are steal or alloy but if the latter, you can easily just polish them and get a really nice look. Did that with the outer lip on some motorcycle rims and turned out nice.

One of the first things I'm doing is getting them powder coated in orange that matches the BL badge/stitching. I like the look of it against the CG color in going wth.
