Quadratec has these. They are sick looking but not the cheapest.

Personally, I think the internal beadlocks are the best.

good but a pain in the *** when on the trails and you need to remove a tire to clean the bead or work on it

Maybe, but after loosing an uphill bead on the downhill side I am convinced it is the way to go. Back in the day, I just used to run tubes and never had a problem in any kind of mud. I even bent my rim enough to expose a 4' section of tube, but still held air.
