Ford Beadlock rings? Painted?

[JetG]

I have a FE and thinking of adding the beadlock rings. Anyone have any pictures of beadlocks installed? Painted? What is the part # and best place to buy them from? Looking for the same look as the Methods pictured below and don't want the bolts paint matched.

If the bolts stick out they will be destroyed by rocks on the trail, that’s why they recess the heads.

Cheapest I could find was @LethalPerformance and they are a forum sponsor.

are you planning to actually run them in bead lock configuration or are you just wanting to run them for cosmetic reasons?

Not judging at all, I think the factory bead lock ring looks awesome but..

Using bead locks on the road is potentially unsafe and probably illegal in your locality.

I think that running the ring without the tire in bead lock configuration will result in a significant and possibly unsightly gap between the tire and ring.

What I was meaning was I don't want the bolts to be all black so they wont stick out as much like the ones in the picture.

I understand that the rings are no DOT legal but people still run them on the street and would just need more attention over time. I was thinking of painting them gloss black on the stock wheels.

The beauty rings are road legal since they ship from factory that way. They are nonfunctional but you can paint them, buy painted replacements, paint the bolts, etc. All "road legal"

What is not road legal is installing and using the actual bead lock rings, as designed, since tires are then no longer properly mounted for highway speeds.

This is the best price I’ve found…and also from a great company to work with.

I have used beadlocks on the street for years. Follow the directions. Keep them torqued, check a couple frequently at minimum. After about 500 miles, mine held torque no problem (only a few were only about 1/4 turn out of spec.). I will run them again on the street I’m sure…butunderstand they aren’t DOT legal.
Also understand most tire shops won’t touch them… I’ve mounted and dismounted them in my garage in the past…it’s a pain in the ass. Lol.
