Tales/photos of Moab and looking for recommendations about beadlocks and rims

[Beastmaster]

I used to run Eagle 589's - I don't any more.

The rim is barely within the load limits for an unloaded open top.

In order for you to run a safe rim, I recommend either the 16.5" 12 bolt two piece steel rim and run PVC beadlocks, or you run the 17" two piece factory rim. The 16.5" and 17" factory rims are DOT approved.

In both cases, the wheels are made by Hutchinson.

Other H1 owners have run High-Impact/Allied beadlocks in 17", as well as Walker Evans and GT/Cepek rims in 17" that are cold forged aluminum.

If you want to stick with 16.5, do the steel 2 piece military 12-bolt rims. You can find them surplus on ebay for about 100-120 a rim. The beadlocks are about 200 bucks for 4 from usa6x6.com.

Hope this helps,
Steve
