How much are you you selling the AEV wheels for? Can you tell me any positives or negatives of both wheels? I'm running 37in Toyo tires that are 13.5 wide so the spyderlock rim width I like not that the AEV rim width has ever been a problem aired down on a trail(10-12PSI). Also spyderlock I would not have to run wheel spacers. I'm not sure but reading about each wheel it looks like the spyderlock is more of a beefcake wheel. Am I right?
The Spyderlocks are heavier duty than the AEV. Also no spacers are needed and are wider. I think the Spyderlocks are going to be a pita to clean though.

I have AEV beadlock wheels with over 20k miles run on them. I run them without the "need" for spacers and have not had problems with balancing using tape weights. occasional maintenance to make sure your bead ring's bolts are staying torqued down is all that is needed. My buddies are currently running Trail Ready beadlocks as dd's with no problems.

So what happens if I were ever to be pulled over with Beadlocks on that are not DOT approved? Impound vehicle being it legally can't be driven due to wheels? Would the wheels ever be brought up if I were in an accident whether it was my fault or not? Anyone ever have any issues with the law as far as Beadlocks go? Hope I don't sound perinoid but I think they are legitimate question!
