Exactly, but I bet you can find Chevy 5 bolt bead lock rims for dirt cheap and all over Craig's List and e-bay too.

 

Heck yeah. I wouldnt mind if they were standard 8 lug pattern either ( i have a set off my old chevy truck collecting dust in my garage)

 

So let me get this right. People are wanting to spend money to get bead lock wheel, which the LR factory alloys are, and go to a smaller rim that is becoming increasingly difficult to find tires for. The demand for 15" rims and tires is dwindling since the auto makers have quit use 15" as factory wheels so the tire makers are making fewer sizes available for 15" rims. 16-17" is becoming the more common rim size now. And let's not forget that the majority of bead locks are not approved for on-road use so you'd have to get 2 sets of rims and tires instead of one.

 

Well i have a set of 16.5 with tires im not using collecting dust thats why im all about a set of adapters. I broke countless beads off roading with factory rover wheels thats why im also considering them and my local garage has inspected my previous truck with bead locks on so im not too conserned about the legality of them.
