While it may not be my style for my soon-to-be-here LE, I admire the work you did. BTW, red is my favorite color - I like the red trim that is on the inside. Good job! No judging here... :)
 
I like the color contrast, if/when I get one I planned on doing the trim rings blue, however not crazy about the look of the true beadlock rings without the tires mounted in the beadlock, and having that gap there that the stock "beauty" rings wouldn't have. Sorta looks like a tire shop didn't know how to mount a beadlock.

First truck I’ve seen with the 24 bolt Bead Lock rings. You answered a question I had about how far the rings would stick out with the tires still mounted in the street position. While I personally wouldnt have done red, probably wheel color, I get where you are headed with that w/ the red accents in the interior.

I saw this yesterday:

Ditto......

love the look, hate the space.
 
The red looks sweet, thanks for showing us the pics! I've been thinking about adding some red to the outside also.

When did they switch to 24 bolts on the bead locks? My LE only has 12, which concerned me about how they'll hold up actually off roading it. Now I'm more concerned.

If I understand correctly, the beauty rings have 12, but the actual beadlock rings have 24. The rims are tapped for all of them, there's just no need for the beauty ring to have all of 'em.

Ahh, that makes sense, and upon closer inspection of the pictures, I see what you mean. Thanks!!
 
Planning on doing RED as well......if truck ever gets here.
 

NoviReefguy excuse my ignorance but why there's a gap between the tire & beadlock? I ask cause i just received my beadlocks and sent them to the powder-coat thanks.​

 
Kliffy...it's because the tire wasn't swapped to the outside of the rim. Normally when a tire is mounted on the rim, both beads sit inside of the rim. When using this beadlock the outer bead will need to sit on the outside of the rim. Then the beadlock clamps the bead against the outer edge of the rim. Pinches it between the rim and the beadlock.
