New member, but long time troller here. Long story short, I got turned onto what people call rock rings? I've seen them on some wheels and they look similar to beadlocks, but they don't hold the tire on as far as I can see. What else would they be for? I really like the look myself and might consider them if they actuall have a purpuse.

 

AFAIK they are just to help reinforce the edges of the wheels and prevent them from getting bent out of shape, but i could be completely wrong.

 

They reinforce the edge of the rim and help keep rocks from tagging lug nuts and hubs.

 

If they're useful, then I'd say do it! Could make it look pretty awesome! I wouldn't mind getting a set for mine, but keep it simple.

 

They are useful and a lot cheaper than replacing wheels. If any of you guys are interested in a custom design drop me a pm. I can send it straight to a cnc in your area or have it cut and sent to you.

 

Here's a example, these are going on my best set of wheels.

 

Any idea how much something like those would run for just a simplistic design? I'm running the stock 15" steelies. I'd probably go for something mostly solid, but maybe some "D" windows cut out. Maybe even a couple XJ logos....

 

I could send the file for about $25 depending on complexity or send a finished set for about $150

 

Drew this up real quick earlier, the circles could easily be changed to D's or the entire ring could be changed to fit someone's taste.

 

That's pretty nice, actually! What program do you use for that?

 

^x2. I really like that design! Any chance of a pic showing D windows?

 

I do most of my design work in AutoCAD, I can make a d window version in the morning.

 

Ok here's the D's, facing in or out
Let me know if you guys are interested.

 

lol, Have you not mastered the art of screen shot's yet?

 

I have but I'm using my phone to post lol
