What makes them DOT approved is they still have the bead lip on the inside so you can run them normally and just have the rings on as 'trim' or you can run them as true bead locks.

I agree with most here. I think both builds look funky. I'm all for function, but damn, at least take a crack at form. The flares on both vehicles look out of whack. And the bumper that looked soo promising in the sema show pictures does look huge now. I'm sure my jeep has seen more off road action than alot of lifted mall cruizers, and it's bone stock. If I was doing enough extreme wheeling to warrant the stage two build, then I would consider having a tube buggy built instead.

I think your company should start offering a military or jk-forum discount so I don't have to keep ordering from 4 wheel drive hardware or 4 wheel parts and throwing your catalog in the trash 
oh and as for beadlocks being illegal: I can say bananas are illegal but until you show me PROOF that they are then it does not mean squat.
And i have NOT seen a stature for either bananas or beadlocks.

Yeah, i dont care about the legality about them, but that is not what i was writing about.
These wheels can only be used as a beadlock, there is no "inner bead lip on the inside so you can run them normally and just have the rings on as 'trim' "

For everyone's info...
I agree that in that current photo the fenders don't look right, however I did watch the show where these were installed and they pointed out that you can easily remove the outer portion of the fender leaving just the inside bar mounted so you can get through tighter spots without damage. This was to counter the complaints of the JK being wider than previous Wranglers. They are an interesting idea and are made for serious trail riding.
