Thats why their called Rock Rings and not beadlocks!! Do a little research before you chime in please. Rock rings are welded to steel or in this case aluminum wheels to prevent wheel damage from rocks etc......while off roading. Although I will never use them for this purpose, they are fully functional rock ring and I like the look of them!

Truck still looks great sir. As to the rings, not really my style but it does stand out and looks decent. Definitely a lot of points for uniqueness there

Truck looks great Bruno. Was following this thread hoping you would post pics. It's definitely different but I think it goes with your truck. Love seeing pics of your truck I hope to make my 97 that nice one day.
