Default Dicovery 1 rims

Where can you get a set of discovery rims 16X8 with 4.25 or 4 inch back spacing with beadlocks? I have seen the rims on lucky 8 but they don't have beadlocks.

Do people assume they can drive highway speeds with zero pressure in the tires?

hi Im new here, but not to beadlocks, I run the racing deviation for Raceline off racing.

I read where someone said they are dangerous,
this is not true. a 32 bolt beadlock is way safer then any street wheel.

the only reason way a beadlock is illegal,
is because the laws where written in the 20's saying that a tire lip/bead has to sit between the DOT dot and the side of the rim.

what makes the beadlock wheel illegal is that you are not touching the DOT dot because your tire is on the out side of the rim.
