Default Walker Evans Beadlocks- Alternatives?

Starting the final phase of my build this week and have run into a stumbling block. I was planning on running Open Country M/T 37x13.5 R17 on black Walker Evans beadlocks.

The problem is that the Walker Evans now says the wheels aren't going to be available until mid March. (I've had them on order since the first week of January)

What other options are out there that are comparable to the black Walker Evans, and are available in the next 2 weeks?

Thanks.

The AEV Pintler Beadlock is probably your best bet for a short timeline from purchase to install. Most of the other manufacturers will not build the wheel until you place the order. My Walker Evans took about three weeks from ordering to showing up at the door.

Will the mid width bumper work with 37's or are you going to change it for a stubby?

I hope they will work with the mid-width. I wasn't planning on changing the bumper.

Good looking wheels!

Too bad they don't come in black.
