I was looking at purchasing the Fuel Anza style wheel which is similar to these. I like the looks. My question is, Do you guys have any issues with snow or ice getting stuck in the wheels? I bought 1 to check looks and fit. I noticed there is a lip behind the simulated beadlock that could hold ice, snow, water. An issue? or am I thinking to much into it.

Just in the way of providing a response...unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. I haven't run with these yet. In fact I am still waiting for the other 4 that I ordered in November.
I see the lip you are referring to. It does look like it could pool water and the like if given the opportunity. I don't see any real issue with this, except maybe some accelerated corrosion in that area if left unchecked for extended periods.

Thanks for the reply. I think I will have to chose something else for a wheel. As much as I like the looks, they use lots of road salt/calcium chloride around this area, so corrosion is an issue. Also looking for somewhat ease of maintenance (cleaning).
