My vote is seven. When you really get a rim on a black one, that shows the inside black lip of rim, it is going to look real good. In my opinion way better than a rim that has a very full face. Plus it will be easier to clean (outside of Teflon).

What do you mean "get a rim on a black one"?

You have ebony in your title?

Ah, now I get what you were saying!
Problem with the chamber pro's (wheel #6) is that the beadlock is functional, and I'm not sure I really want a functional beadlock to drive around on all day... Does that require a special tire to have beadlock rims or will any type tire work with them?

what do you plan to do with your VX.

Or, just mild off roading and maybe one day a trip to Moab to watch others break their trucks!
Outside of that, hauling gear to races, dogs to the dog park and myself to and from work.

hey Bob, I was the first to vote for #7... I think they would be slick!
I have 20's that I think look like "tuning forks" made by MB Motoring.
good luck in your quest!

Dont look at my rims for reference. I bought them for about $80 each at one point when I needed something quick and cheap. If I had to do it all over again I would get black inner lip.

...my vote (and Cece's too) is for the 3rd one down.

Any tire will work with beadlocks...nothing special needed. For road use a beadlock is not really needed (but won't harm anything). Where they shine is offroad...you can air the tires down uber-low for superior traction and not wory about losing a bead.

But those rims won't hold air without those bolts in probably... I'd rather not have to deal with installing/mounting tires on that. Seems like a PITA.

Check me if I'm wrong here Sandy, but...
Are the majority of bead locks DOT approved for street use?
I haven't done any research on it, just remember hearing something here or there...
Edit/Addendum...N E V E R mind...
After a bit O the old google D goo, it looks like it's no prob-lame-O

Does it take a special shop to mount or know how to mount bead lock tires?
Super VXer
No special machinery required. A lot of times the rims have a bulge near the bead to keep the tire from coming off the other direction. This requires a fair amount of skill to mount so an offroad shop would probably have an easier time with it but I've done a set before at a regular old shop
