Beadlock wheels

[The norm]

I'm contemplating getting a set of beadlock wheels for my R. It is a dune machine exclusively so I really don't need them. I do like the look however. I have  been thinking about OMF and HiPer wheels. So I ask you guys to post pictures of your beadlocks and tell me what you like about them.
Thanks Loren

I’m a big fan of  Douglas shamrocks and the Douglas ultimate centers.  I love the old school stuff.  Unfortunately neither are made anymore.  If you find a new set somewhere they are selling for around $1000 new for the set (and that’s most likely the “friends” price).

Not the ideal dune setup up but they sure look cool.  Here’s mine:

My next set of wheels will be OMF.  Loren, same as you I like the look.  I talked to OMF not too long ago.  I was inquiring about a set (or 2).  I didn’t proceed with the purchase because their orders for wheels were very backed up.  The issue was the availability of DWT wheels.  Everything was on back order.  I highly doubt if you ordered today that you’d get them anytime soon.

I saved this pic from a search awhile ago.

I also like the old school look of these OMF wheels.

Those wheels on the R are exactly what I want! I dig the shamrocks for sure, but like you said they are nearly unattainable

Exactly like these but in black instead of gold.

I’ve got hipers and an old set of champions.  I like the hipers because the black will always stay black.  The thread inserts scare me a bit though.  Worried they’ll strip out eventually.  A cheaper option is the Alba beadlocks.  Seem to be decent quality.

The trouble with Hipers is they aren't making 8x8 wheels anymore. So I would have to try and find some new floating around or buy used. I would worry about the threaded inserts on used wheels. I really like the OMF's because you can get them in a two tone (for lack of a better term). I would go with black hub/polished center/black ring. Now if I can sneak them in without the wife knowing!

Cooper said he needs the gold wheels on his R. He says it's the gold that makes it fast!

That seller is ATV Galaxy.  I’m pretty sure they drop ship almost everything they sell.  I’d call first before placing an order.

I love the look of these OMF wheels.
