AFAIK, the "beadlocks" are the fake beadlocks that toyota has been putting on the other TT models.

///They are a good looking wheel, but not real beadlocks///

Right, as I alluded, I like the "looks" of the beadlocks.

I think the only DOT approved  beadlocks are Hutchenson's, but that brings up other arguments about legality, do you need DOT approval?

The only time I have heard that you do is when driving across state lines to Moab. Have heard the state police will trailer your rig if you try to enter with non-DOT beadlocks. I suppose otherwise how would anyone know unless pulled over?

The expense for a manufacturer to get DOT approval is too much for the small market out there.

So, as usual, buyer beware.
