Here's my :twocents:
I have Pintler beadlocks. However, in this picture it shows exposed bolts. Mine have the rounded head bolts that take a hex key. I have scraped the hell out of them and have not had a problem with them. Pintler Beadlocks are DOT compliant. That being said, when ATX does come out with a 20" wheel I will probably change over.
AEV’s classic wheel design, the Pintler combines timeless styling with the innovative features and off-road strength that you’ve come to expect from AEV. The beadlock version of the Pintler is a true two-piece wheel meant to stand up to heavy off road abuse. Our beadlocks are cast – as opposed to cut and welded – to ensure structural integrity and to comply with DOT regulations for two-piece wheels. They also feature our recessed valve stems, which come in pretty handy when dragging your wheels across rocks or other obstacles. And most importantly, they were designed for Jeeps, not as a one-size-fits-all aftermarket wheel. They have a JK-specific offset, which provides the optimal balance of tire clearance (up to 37” tires), scrub radius and handling. Available in Argent and Silver finishes.
We recommend using a thin wall socket for installation to avoid scratching the inside of the lug pockets. Available for sale (see Related Products), it also stores neatly inside your AEV Jack Base.
