Beadlocks
Are bead locks really necessary? And why are there imitation ones. I was looking at the Mickey Thompsons but found out they wasn't true bead locks

They make fake beadlocks...just because they look cool.

Merlin pretty much said it all for you. I will add that I wouldn't buy 16.5" wheels these days. I wouldn't spend more money very time I replaced my tires when I could spend a little more once (when I bought the wheels).

I can not even tell the diffrence. BUT..... with beadlocks come more maintenace. You will need to always check your bolt tightness after every offroad trip. Also you need to watch for damaged bolts. Never had a flat or a issue with my Racelines.
