Default Weldable beadlock kits?

Are those weldable beadlock kits any good? I don't know a whole lot about tires and rims I'll be honest. Is there a way to turn the Cherokee Limited rims into good beadlocks? I really like that rim. I think the weldable beadlock kits have an outside ring, inside ring, and something for the mid-section. Thanks

It is all a matter of how well you can weld aluminum

most weldable beadlock kits are steel. you can't weld steel to aluminum. and those aluminum beadlocks are quite pricey.

i have Trail Head Customs (THC) beadlocks welded onto cheap steel wheels on my JLR. they were cheap, and very tough, plus i had Trevor cut my design into the rock rings. awesome guy, and amazing quality. i will never buy another brand.
