Those have been out for a couple of years now in test form. To my knowledge they have not pulled the trigger on production yet. Centerforce also offered a new design for the Hummer beadlock that has not made it into production yet either.

They are ugly as hell, but what a great idea! Especially for an off road vehicle. It will make police chases on TV much more interesting too! :smiley-laughing021:

Yes, they are ugly, but no more flats? I'm in. Of course, when folks start running them until they wear down to the center, it could get interesting! LOL Looks like they could use a thin cover for the sides to make them look better and reduce the wind resistance that I'm sure exists from the open sides.

Police chases? That would be interesting to see the stop sticks flying through the air. I wonder how they corner???

Wouldn't take them in the mud.... PITA to get all the mud out of those holes. Would create a heck of a wobble.

Also they are currently used in heavy equipment.
