Peasant vs Beadlock Wheels

[TyRex]

Hey guys, quick question.
I have stock wheels, but I always liked the beadlock wheels. In your opinion which one looks better?
Keep in mind the beadlock picture is photoshopped and they will look as black as the stock picture.
The price for the beadlock is $2,500. Not sure 100%, so help me with the poll and your comments.

The beadlocks look better, but weigh so much more.

Black lug nuts on regular wheels improve the look without adding weight.

Beadlocks. Definitely beadlocks. You can always sell your stock wheels to offset the cost of the new ones.

is that 2500 for just the wheels or does that include tires and sensors. If just the wheels I personally feel that is too expensive.

Beadlocks are really cool, IMO.

Everything (wheels, tires, sensors)

I have the black lug nuts, but I didn't like the idea of losing the key and cutting 24 lug nuts to remove my wheels.

Are the lug nuts for the beadlock wheels different than the stock wheels?

same ones I believe

Same lugnuts, but black ones are a must IMO. The stock ones stand out so much. It’s all you see.

I love the black beadlocks. Just completes the truck. Especially since you have the Rambar too.

I was a little hung up on the extra weight for awhile but honestly it’s not noticeable. I’d get ‘em now because you know some RHO guys will be looking for them once they get their trucks.

The black lug nuts do not have to be keyed. Gorilla has the same as stock but in black. No special keys or sockets required

From the factory both rims come with the chrome lugs.

I ordered my truck with beadlock capable wheels but bought some of the standard wheels off a forum member. I'm running the standard wheels now and actually like the look of them better. It's all personal preference honestly, both look good. I'm keeping the beadlocks in case I ever change my mind LOL. I weighed them both when switching out tires and the beadlocks are 13 lbs a piece heavier. That's quite a difference, basically the same difference in weight as a 37" tire vs a 35".

Do you know the link reference for those??

I think the standard wheels look better than the black bead locks on a black truck. Plus they are lighter.

Lol, everybody buying a 6500-lb truck and worrying about the extra 13 lbs per wheel

I know, unsprung weight and all that...I still find it funny

 

[84 Sheepdog]

Standard wheels are faster.... sorry couldn't resist.

I do not remember. I originally bought back in 2021. 66147BDX 14mm x 1.50 Factory Style Bulge. This was just a pack of 4. I think they sell a box of 24 also. It may have a different part number. Check with some of the vendors on here, I think I saw them advertise them.

Do you remember the weights of each one, the standard OEM rim vs the OEM beadlock rim? I thought I read that the standard rims are right at 30 lbs apiece. Does that mean the deadlocks are around 43 lbs apiece? Thank you for whatever you can share. Appreciate it!

That's correct, the beadlocks were 43 lbs and the standard wheel was 30 lbs.
