they will work but the outer ring is pretty thin. and from what i've heard they will bend easily when hit on a rock or root etc
and the reason most of the weld on beadlocks have a wide ring is to keep the rings from bending or coning. you can get some quality ones that have a smaller ring though.
Yes, the Stauns are great. They run about $170 each.
Weld ons run about $230-250 for a set.
I'm looking at weld ons to add a little width to some stock steel rims.
There is a guy on Mobile Jeep Club with some free jeep rims. (my price range)

That would be true.... but I don't plan on putting the little yellow Jeep in any really knarly situations.
then why do you want beadlocks? and using stock jeep wheels isn't a great idea either. most of them have alot of backspacing so you'll run into clearance issue with larger tires. especially when turning
Well, I don't know. It just seems like a cool thing to do.
One of my hair-brained ideas.

maybe this is the motto of the offroad.
We make a set of bead locks. If you do not like the bigger rings I know Chris can make you a pair that you would like. Not sure how much they are though, but that is just an idea.
