What do you guys think of these wheels?

Seems to be just a rib on the inside of the bead to give it some resistance when being pushed in from sidewall load when aired down. Sounds and looks like a good idea, wish they had some different style of wheel though.
 
Oh good, I thought I was dumb. Yeah, I don't get that either, or what about the v shape lets you pull a tire off by hand.
 
First I saw of them and think they are a nice design... I really like the inner bead with a rib!!!! unless you run double beadlocks or create your own style of innter rib you can loose an inner bead at any time on the trail below 5psi.

Also as a guy who mounts/dismounts his own wheels I like the fact they are addressing he field service aspects... although I have yet to see a tire I couldn't do with a set of tire irons and some beads of swet on my forehead on a normal non beadlock wheel.... with that said these should make that procedure way easier.

Looks like a few good engineers got together and threw a whole list of things at a wheel design and I would def like to hear how well they hold up with abuse.

The idea would be that you could get the tire bead deep into the V allowing you enough leverage to pull the opposing side of the bead off of the rim. I think that it would still be hard to do, but I can understand the concept.
 
I will be looking for some real world feedback before I buy new wheels for the Jeep which will probably be when I upgrade to 37's so it's a ways down the road. It seems like the concepts behind the wheel are solid at least from just looking at the website.

I get it now, thanks.
 
It would be nice if someone would designe a dirtbike tire like this. I am getting sick of slapping myself in the forehead with a tire spoon! :)
 
They do have one offering of 8x6.5 lug pattern on a 16x9 wheel 4.5"BS. Seems to me if they are going to cater to the off-road world they would have a better offering of 8 lug wheels though.
