well there is always trailworthy fab. double beadlock wheels but they are a 16.5, and not alot of tire companies carry a 16.5 tire in their line up.
double beadlock locks the bead to the rim on both beads, not just one like on regular beadlock tires.

you can choose your backspacing,throw in a PVC insert (reqiured for making it a double beadlock tire and not just a regular tire) and bolt pattern for $174.95 each.

Prerunning doesn't usually tear an inside bead off like rock crawling. You may also want to look into Raceline or Poison Spyder beadlocks.

Oh, and if you don't wanna spend much, go with a set of steel wheels and weld on beadlocks.

15x8 American Racing wheels bought at Pep Boys running 33x10x15 BFG AT. In 5 years racing, I never lost a bead. I reccomend only getting beadlocks if you really start popping beads while driving.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
The OP hasn't been here since 2012. He probably figured it out. :unsure:

Looks like he found my tequila stash I lost way back down in that river that I could never find again. Nor wanted to.
