Sorry, but unless you run 2 piece steel beadlocks (that can be hammered into place if you dent the crap out of the rim), you need these if you do ANY sort of moderate rock to hardcore off roading. Kill the bead = you're stuck...
I got similar things for my truck (predecessors to what Rubberduck sells) and as soon as my wife gets through the break in period on her truck, we're getting a set for hers as well.
Unless you're using something like Delrin or some other high tensile PTFE based polymer, steel is the best thing. And the cost of a similar strength PTFE item to steel is at the same cost point, so why not use steel?
