Beadlock-Rad
Beadlock-Räder are mechanical devices that secure the bead of a tire to the wheel rim. They ensure the tire stays on the rim even when tire pressure is low, which is crucial for off-road driving. Ningbo BRS Auto Parts Co., Ltd., a leading steel wheel manufacturer in China since 2002, produces 4×4-Räder mit Felgenschloss für Geländefahrten ranging from 15″ to 18″. These beadlock wheels fit SUVs, pickups, ATVs, and UTVs, with popular sizes like 15×8, 16×10, 17×9, and 18×8. BRS offers both real and simulated beadlock wheels to meet different customer needs.
how do beadlock wheels work
Beadlock wheels use a mechanical clamp to hold the tire bead to the rim. BRS’s real beadlock wheels have an outer ring bolted to the wheel’s inner part, clamping the tire bead so it won’t slip off even at low pressure. Made with N330 steel (rims) and N400 steel (discs), they’re strong and durable. Air pressure plus the clamp keeps the tire and rim rotating together, and BRS’s beadlock rims work with both beadlock tires and standard tires.
why use beadlock wheels
types of beadlock wheels
There are various types of beadlock wheels available, and you can choose the suitable one based on your vehicle type (like SUV, ATV, or pickup) to match your specific needs. Each type caters to different requirements, helping you get the right performance or look you want.
internal beadlock wheels
Internal beadlock wheels have their clamping mechanism inside the wheel. This design keeps the mechanism hidden, giving the wheel a clean look. They’re great for off-roaders who want both functionality and a neat appearance, using strong steel materials to ensure the internal clamp holds tight even in extreme conditions. These beadlock wheels work well with ATVs and SUVs that need to balance performance and aesthetics.
external beadlock wheels
External beadlock wheels have a visible outer ring bolted to the rim. This design makes the clamping force easy to check and maintain, with 16-32 high-strength bolts securing the ring to keep the tire bead in place. They’re ideal for heavy-duty off-road use, like extreme racing or rock crawling, and the exposed ring adds a tough, off-road look to the vehicle. They come in sizes from 15″ to 18″, fitting most 4×4 off-road vehicles.
hybrid beadlock wheels
Hybrid beadlock wheels combine features of internal and external designs. They offer the hidden, clean look of internal beadlocks and the easy maintenance of external ones, making them perfect for users who need versatility—working well for both moderate off-road driving and occasional street use. These beadlock wheels balance durability and style, meeting different driving needs.
simulated beadlock rims
Simulated beadlock rims (also called fake beadlock wheels) only have the appearance of beadlocks, with no real clamping mechanism. They’re for those who want the off-road look for daily street driving, coming in designs like 8-spoke and 10-modular to match the style of real beadlock wheels. They’re street-legal, fit passenger cars, SUVs, and pickups, and are a cost-effective way to get an aggressive off-road look without real beadlock functionality.
the applications of beadlock rims
extreme off-road & racing: real beadlock wheels
For extreme off-road and racing scenarios, real beadlock wheels are a must. With strong steel construction and secure clamping designs, they handle low tire pressure and rough terrain—critical for off-road racing, rock crawling, and desert adventures where tire slippage or de-beading could be dangerous. These beadlock wheels fit 4×4 SUVs, pickups, and ATVs, providing the traction and reliability needed for harsh conditions, and are trusted globally for such high-demand uses.
recreational off-road & outdoor trips: versatile beadlock wheels
For casual off-road activities like suburban trail driving or outdoor camping trips, versatile beadlock wheels strike a balance between functionality and practicality. They don’t need the heavy-duty specs of racing-grade options but still offer secure tire retention for mild non-paved roads. These beadlock wheels fit SUVs and ATVs, working well for weekend getaways while remaining easy to switch back to street use—ideal for users who want off-road capability without sacrificing daily convenience.
Daily Street Use: Simulated Beadlock Wheels
For daily street use, simulated beadlock wheels are the right choice. They offer the tough off-road look without real beadlock functionality, are street-legal, and fit passenger cars, SUVs, and pickups used for commuting or casual driving. Available in finishes like chrome and powder-coated black, these beadlock wheels match different vehicle styles, are easy to maintain, and are a simple way to enhance a vehicle’s appearance for everyday use.
installation and maintenance of beadlock tires
Beadlock Tire Installation Tips
For real beadlock wheels, position the tire bead correctly between the wheel’s inner part and outer ring during installation. Tighten the bolts in a specific pattern to ensure even clamping force, and follow torque guidelines to avoid loose bolts.
Regular Bolt Check & Re-Torque
For real beadlock wheels, check the bolts regularly—especially after every few hundred miles of off-road use. If bolts are loose, re-torque them promptly to maintain secure tire retention.
Cleaning to Prevent Corrosion & Tire Change Note
Keep beadlock rims and tires clean to avoid corrosion. When changing beadlock tires, inspect the wheel’s clamping parts carefully to ensure they are not damaged.
Professional Guidance & After-Sales Support
Professional manufacturers can provide guidance on installing and maintaining beadlock wheels/tires. For B2B customers, after-sales support is also available to ensure smooth use, and proper care (with guidance) helps extend the product’s lifespan.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
how to tell if beadlocks are real?
You can tell real beadlocks from fake ones by checking for a functional clamping mechanism. Real beadlock wheels (like BRS’s) have an outer ring bolted to the rim—you’ll see 16-32 bolts around the ring. Fake beadlock wheels (simulated ones) only have the look of bolts (cast or machined into the rim) but no real ring or clamping parts. BRS’s real beadlock wheels also have clear quality marks, while fake ones focus on appearance over functionality.
how low psi can you go without beadlocks?
Without beadlocks, you can usually go down to 20-25 psi for most passenger cars and SUVs. Going lower (below 20 psi) risks the tire coming off the rim, especially during turns or acceleration. For off-road use, without beadlocks, even 20 psi may not be safe on rough terrain. If you need lower psi for better traction, BRS’s real beadlock wheels let you go as low as 5-10 psi without de-beading.
why are beadlocks only on the outside?
Beadlocks are often only on the outside because the outer tire bead is more likely to come off the rim during off-road driving. When you drive on rough terrain, the outer side of the wheel takes more force—like when turning or hitting rocks. Putting the beadlock on the outside targets this high-risk area. BRS’s external beadlock wheels focus on the outer side for this reason, providing effective protection where it’s needed most. For extreme cases, BRS also offers dual beadlocks (inner and outer) for extra safety.
how often should beadlocks be tightened?
For real beadlock wheels, you should check and re-tighten the bolts every 300-500 miles of off-road use, or before a big off-road trip. If you use the beadlock wheels mainly on streets, check them every 1,000 miles. BRS recommends following the torque specification (usually 10 pound-force-feet) when tightening to avoid over-tightening or under-tightening. Regular checks prevent loose bolts, which could cause the tire to slip.
can you put beadlocks on any rim?
No, you can’t put beadlocks on any rim. Beadlocks need rims designed to fit their clamping mechanism—standard rims don’t have the right structure. BRS’s beadlock rims are specially made to work with real beadlock systems, with a matching inner part and outer ring. If you want to add beadlocks to your vehicle, it’s best to buy pre-made beadlock wheels (like BRS’s) or have a professional modify compatible rims. Using non-compatible rims can lead to safety issues.
do you need special tyres for beadlocks?
You don’t always need special tyres for beadlocks, but using tires designed for off-road use works better. Standard tires can be used with beadlock wheels, but off-road tires (including beadlock tires) have stronger beads that handle the clamping force better. BRS’s beadlock wheels work with most off-road tires and standard tires, giving users flexibility. If you use the beadlock wheels for extreme off-road, BRS recommends beadlock tires for extra durability.
can BRS customize steel beadlock wheels for SUVs/ATVs?
Yes, BRS can customize steel beadlock wheels for SUVs and ATVs. We offer custom sizes (15″-18″), designs (like 8-spoke or 10-modular), and finishes (chrome, powder-coated black). The MOQ for custom steel beadlock wheels is 20 pieces. Our team uses 2D, 3D, and CAE analysis to ensure the custom wheels fit your SUV/ATV perfectly.

do BRS's Real Beadlock Wheels have IATF 16949 & off-road durability?
Yes, BRS’s Real Beadlock Wheels have IATF 16949 certification—our factory meets this strict quality standard, so every real beadlock wheel is high-quality. For off-road durability, these beadlock wheels use N330/N400 steel, which is strong enough to handle rough terrain, low pressure, and heavy loads. They are tested for impact and corrosion resistance, making them reliable for off-road use. BRS’s real beadlock wheels are used in over 40 countries for off-road driving, proving their durability.
