Beadlocks?

I did a search, so dont say do a search...

Ive been told that bead locks must be tightened every 5 miles or so so they wont pop off. This would mean no street usage (except humvee beadlocks, which I know work).

If this is the case, its not something a little thread-lok couldnt fix, right?

did anyone see those weld on beadlocks in four wheeling magazine, i would think those would be good for on-roading, since the bolts dont actually hold the rim in place
