Looking to buy some bead locks. A little help please.

I presume you're talking bout retaining water in the rings more than water intrusion inside a tire. I'm sure there are many others, but KMC is what comes to mind initially as a tried and true brand with rings designed that way.

I noticed KMC has holes in their beadlock rings.
It's a shame Method race wheels don't have the holes in the rings.

It's mainly an annoyance more than an issue. The water doesn't really throw off balance cuz it gets flung out and about one way or the other, but it is so aggravating to wash the jeep and then have to address dang cup of water sitting in those rings like my ATX Chamber Pros do. I don't wash it much, but when I do it's hard to get the wheels clean. I had Method 105s few years back, and although they don't have holes in the rings, the rings sit fairly flush with the inner wheel so water just pours right off. The Methods were a good wheel.....the only downside to those 105s is the threads are directly in the wheel itself unlike using a threaded sleeve or nutsert like many do. The bolts were a touch exposed as well but I never had a huge issue with that.

I wanted black but went natural due to colored rings looking like hell once they had trail rash. When I break mine down I always just hit them with a flap disc to take off the sharp edges. They can be nasty.
I love my TrailReadys.

@resharp001 or anyone w/ info.
I am looking for a 17" beadlock that will not retain water. Any exist?
I mean I understand if I air down to 5 psi that water may enter into the tire, but we only air down to around 12psi around these parts.
