I believe that beadlock rims are illegal in most states for standard vehicles. You'd want to go with the falsebeadlock rims. I'm not sure on pricing, but I'll keep an eye out.

if you can find wheels with a simulated beadlock there shouldnt be any problems at all, as stated earlier its the actual beadlocks thatll get you in trouble since theyre illegal for road use.

I found one that makes a faux Bead-lock add-on to your current rim. They are crap, but they beat the current bid of $60...

Otherwise this style is fairly spendy...

Split rims are EXTREMELY dangerous. If you don't do things exactly right, you can die and major collateral damage will be done. There's so many scenarios that will put someone in the hospital if they're lucky. I figure that has something to do with why they're illegal on the road. They serve an awesome job if you actually have a need for them, but just for a daily driver, you want as few on the road as possible.
