Default Simulated beadlock

I really dig the look of the simulated beadlock wheels, but i'm having trouble shopping around for them because they seem to cost more than the tires i'm looking at. Does anyone know if there is something like this for 16s? I really like the idea of doing 35s on 16s, but I like even more getting a rock ring and painting it to match the body. But it looks like only rugged ridge and mickey thompson has em, and only in 17s (and at 250 bucks a pop for the wheels, ouch). Any ideas?

Default Level 8 ZX Wheels

A while back the rep for Discount Tire Direct announced that the "level 8 ZX" wheels were available and you can order the rings seperate. they come off and you can paint them. Contact the rep and he will give you a good price also.



The ring here is black, but it comes off.
