Real beadlock wheels cost over a grand for four, I doubt those you saw are real. These are the real deal:

We ran these same wheels on our armored F350's in Iraq. Instead of the beadlock disc they had a larger/taller plastic runflat disc. The hutchinson wheel has an inner and outer component that bolts together, no tire machine required. It is the ultimate off road wheel.
