Default AEV Beadlocks

Guys

Who's running AEV Beadlocks on their Daily Drive (DD)?
Any issues or concerns? How often do you re-torque the wheels?
Any comments welcome. Do I buy them or go for the standard AEV rims?

Cheers
Gregg

i am not running them so i cant be much help but i can say that i see my self making some in my near future if i ever decide to get the gas for aluminum welding... I see no reason to not get them imo. As for the torque, i would use loctite or similar and just check at each oil change to be safe. I regret getting a rim without beadlocks. Not only does it help from losing a bead, it also protects the outer edges of the rim slightly. If you do get them id get steel, depending on how hard you wheel.

I have them on my dd and they have been great. I've checked the torque twice and have not had to tighten any of them.

I have them on my DD almost 30,000 miles no issues what so ever. I check the torque every other oil change, but they have never needed to be retightened.
