Default beadlocks

ok so i am wanting some new wheels for my 11 jku i want to get beadlocks Now i have been looking and i have only been able to find to many that are 5x5 bolt pattern with a good backspacing to clear bigger tires on my stock for now jku. Now i am just trying to look for some 15" or 17" beadlocks, still undecided what would be better or if its just preference. if you guys know of any good beadlocks at maybe some different price ranges, steel and aluminum i'm open to any suggestions to start my search.

and if you have a comment on what size is preferred that would be much appreciated to.

Been running the AEV beadlocks for almost 3 years now. Two full winters. Been super happy with them.

yeah the atx, aev and the spider's were really the only ones that i could find. i could find a bunch of steel beadlocks ones but they were all for the tj's and has anyone seen any that are steel ones for the jk's. sorry i am a noobie at this as well. i've seen like the trail ready and rugged ridge rim protectors. it says that they cover and protect the beads on the wheel. Do those sort of act as a bead lock or are they there for rock rash?

I have Raceline Monster aluminum beadlocks, made by Allied. Strong, high quality, and they look great.

I think I know what your talking about here, if it just says rim protectors than no it's a beadlock. I've had my AEVs for seven months and haven't had any problems. Great on and off road.
