Beadlock rims on a Stock Mustang - Is there a stigma?

[robvas]

I’m not sure if most know that the Dodge Ram TRX come STOCK with Beadlock Wheels and is Street Legal/DOT approved from the dealership off the assembly line…

Not quite...

They are "beadlock-capable". Very similar to the same ones you can get for the Bronco (and other off-road vehicles)

The TRX comes with wheels that have a fake beadlock ring on them. You have to buy the real one as Mopar accessory

True beadlocks are off-road use only and not DOT legal.

Does anyone have PROOF of Beadlock being legally prohibited for public roads?

TRX wheels are beadlock capable. Ford has the same thing for all the Raptors (F-150, Bronco, and Ranger.) A beadlock capable wheel is an option, then you must buy the rings and hardware separately.

States right in the description on the above page beadlock configuration is for off-road use only.

Also, on the first page of the instructions for the above kit:

Mounting the tire in the bead-lock position is for off-road use only. On-road driving with the tires in the bead-lock position is not permitted.

I would assume the TRX beadlock kit has a similar disclaimer.

Edit: Looks like robvas beat me to it.

Obviously there's a stigma. It's like a car screaming look at me I have so much power and then realizing it's stock LOL

Or a supra with a missing headlight to look fast then you realize it's stock
