I am looking to install beadlocks, or simulated beadlocks on my H2. No chrome, just powdercoated. Does anyone have any info or links as to where I can find these?
Thanks.

Get whatever rim you want and run the Staun Internal Beadlocks.

Hey Eric, did you get the Staun beadlocks? That's coming up soon on my list of modifications and I have been planning to go that route on a spare set of wheeling wheels and would love to hear from folks who have tried them.

To the OP, are you wanting the functionality or just the look? That makes a big difference in the answers you are likely to receive.

Mike,

I do not have them yet. I need to allocate funds to new undercarriage protection from Rubberduck. My factory stuff is so bent up I cant hardly get it back on the truck when I take it off! lol. Hopefully by May I will Have them.

OP if you are looking for beadlocks because you like the look I can understand that. But if you want beadlocks that work well....and have the look just buy some fake beadlock wheels and put the stauns in them. The Stauns have proven to be superior than the mechanical beadlocks.

I wanted beadlocks but settled for these instead on my first H2.

I really just want the look of beadlocks. I don't really care for the factory rims, and I can't decide between rockstars, or wheels with the beadlock look.

Does anyone know who makes these wheels? I saw these on a H2 on ebay so I emailed the dealership who listed the vehicle, and he said he does not know what brand the wheels are. These are just what I was looking for.
Thanks,
Scott

funny you should post that truck up. yes those are xd diesels with fake bolt on beadlocks. i know because i actually went out and took a look at that truck in person. they had it at a import/custom dealer here in nashville after they had bought it in an aucton in fl. they looked great in my opinion with the bolt on beadlock. they were 22" on 37" trailgrapplers. dudes at the dealer were aholes that didnt know $hit. he was trying to tell me it had a 6 inch custom lift on it. i looked underneath and said to him i dont see any suspension lift of any sort. and he proceeds to say oh its right here and points to the bilstein shocks it had. hmmmm i didnt know bilsteins added 6 in to overall height :giggling: and he tried to tell me the rims and tires cost 7k. ya f'ing right was my response...see ya dumba$$

anyways sorry for the rant i just saw that truck and had to tell my story!

Thanks again for the replys......so I take it that these are aftermarket rims that have to be altered to accept the bolt on beadlocks? I really like the setup, I just don't know of anyone in my area that would to the work to the rims.

OK.....I don't want to sound like a tard, :notallthere: but......I checked out the kmc wheels. Do they sell the "beadlock" circle seperate, or are those made by a different company? Also, do they bolt up to the kmc's without any mods?
Thanks again.

its all good. the beadlock rings do not come with the rims but kmc(maker of xd) also makes the beadlocks. i think they are meant to go with the diesels but they probably work with any xd rim.

Scott,

If you click on the KMC link I posted, about half way down you can add to your order the beadlocks.

Check it out...

The Stauns have proven to be superior than the mechanical beadlocks.

Please share the proof of where you have seen or read this? I have only witnessed problems with the Stauns and never the real beadlocks. I run Hutchinson beadlocks on my H2 and never had a problem. In fact, I love these wheels - best wheels I have ever owned. Sometimes the Stauns can block your regular valve stem from allowing air in or out.

Here are the Hutchinson wheels I have:
