Are you trying to understand how beadlocks work?How do these work? Just bolt onto the rim with Allen bolts? Come in different colors? Please explain.
Respectfully, the factory rings as delivered, are more than just cosmetic.From the factory the rings are just for aesthetics.
If you want proper headlocks, you buy replacement rings from the parts counter and swap them out. (The rims are “beadlock ready”)
Great video thanks. Now I get it!
Do you know why beadlocks are not allowed?Respectfully, the factory rings as delivered, are more than just cosmetic.
They are Rash Rings.
They help protect rim from rock damage when aired down.
They can be converted to Beadlocks.
But it's a bit of work and money.
Our Federal betters don't allow Beadlocks straight from the factory.
Nope.Do you know why deadlocks are not allowed?
Someone said that in a crash from the side there is a greater chance of the vehicle getting a grip on the road and flipping vs non bead lock that could de bead and slide.. something like that but I don't know for sure.Nope.
Do tell. ?
Well, I'll take your word for it.Someone said that in a crash from the side there is a greater chance of the vehicle getting a grip on the road and flipping vs non bead lock that could de bead and slide.. something like that but I don't know for sure.

It is afterall the government making final decisions.
But.....
No disagreement. But,......How's the old saying go...
If you have to ask....
I'm sure it has more to do with beadlocks being more complicated than a typical wheel. They aren't set and forget. You have to know how to use and maintain them. Most people won't. Your typical tire shop won't touch them, most wouldn't even know what to do with them.Someone said that in a crash from the side there is a greater chance of the vehicle getting a grip on the road and flipping vs non bead lock that could de bead and slide.. something like that but I don't know for sure.
I asked on another thread but no answer . Can you put hotrod wheels on the bronco and put the 35s on them? Are they more likely to slip the bead off road?I'm sure it has more to do with beadlocks being more complicated than a typical wheel. They aren't set and forget.

We don't need people losing rings and de-beading tires on the freeway.
Then again, tinted windows are illegal in lots of places, so there could be literally no reason. Sometimes I think the lawmakers just set up a roulette wheel with random crap on it.
