No, I'm not doing the work, I'm not so good at stuff like that. I would love to give it go, but I'd screw it all up for sure.
Yes, I've looked at the Walker Evan rims but they are only 17x8.5, way too narrow. I called Interco, the manufacture of my tires, & they said that these tires are particularly wide, actually a true 14.5 inches wide, & they said that they wouldn't even recommend a 10 inch wide rim, they say don't go any less than 12 inches wide. So I'm kind of confused.
Doesn't seem to be a 17x12 inch beadlock out there.
Still up for suggestions on company names of shops to install all my gear too.
Cheers,
Aaron

Spyderlocks, yes, looked at them too, still only 9.5 inches wide so width is a possibility, but backspacing is 3.5 on those wheels, & I was hoping for 4.5 since my axles are so wide (much wider than stock) & my tires are so wide, with 3.5 inch backspace I'll be too
wide for a lot of trails out there, I'd have to go wheelin with the Hummer H1 club.
I've started to look at the Champion Beadlocks. They can convert any rim you bring them into a beadlock wheel, has anyone had any experience with these?
