Provides Maximum Off-Road Capability While Being DOT Approved
Jeep owners who want to tackle the most demanding terrain imaginable, look no further than the Hutchinson Rock Monster Beadlock Wheels. Hutchinson uses the same beadlock technology they use in their U.S. Military beadlock wheels, providing industry leading capability. The Rock Monster Beadlock wheels clamp the tire beads, securing the tire to the rim at lowered or even zero PSI. Lower tire pressures off-road provides increased traction, comfort, improved braking and steering control and more. Unlike most beadlocks on the market, the Rock Monsters are 100% street legal, ensuring you can not only tackle the hardest trails out there, but also confidently daily drive with these wheels. The Hutchinson Beadlocks provide clamps both sides of the tire, providing debead protection to both sides of the tires, further differentiating themselves from other beadlocks on the market.

REVIEWS & CUSTOMER MEDIA
I really like the double-beadlock design, but since Hutchinson moved production to China, quality is way down. I used to own US Hutchinsons and now China ones. The powder coat quality is crap, it peels off just from removing the first set of wheel weights after less than a year of use. Had the US ones for probably 6-7 years and never had it peeling. The aluminum also chunks off with rock hits where the old US wheels never had chunks coming off. Of course any wheel will scrape on rocks, but these take way more damage. Overall, with the insane price inflation on these, they're absolutely not worth it anymore. There are other brands that are now a more compelling double beadlock. Don't get me wrong, they're not awful, but they're completely not worth $900. If they were still $500 I'd say go for it.
