"The Unbeatable Beast" :bounce: Hmmm, I was thinking more along the lines of: "The very dodgy Land Rover ruined by poor taste" or "An hommage to 1970's shower curtains"

Don't know why but apparently they're ok. It's all a bit of a grey area to be honest but, in the event of an accident and the need to make a claim, it would be better not to have single wall beadlock wheels fitted.

Why is an electric aerial important to you, just out of interest? I've lived with a Puma double cab for five years and yearned for a lot of improvements but an electric aerial has not yet featured in my dreams.

Why's it ****e then? Is it not the same system that's on the Pumas?

Cheers mate. Which winch have you got on your double cab? I went for Goodwinch Goldfish 12000 with Dyneema Bowrope and I've not complaints so far. I thought about changing my two bumper mounted spots for yellows too (spooky!) but I have them come on with main beam and I can't be arsed to...

Well yes, as they're illegal for road use. Wheels themselves seem pretty good and are rated at 1450kg.

Apparently not. You'll love this.... it came with standard alloys which were immaculate, he changed them for black steel modulars then, because I had fitted black Zu's to my Defender, he wanted some of those. The 4x4 place he went to told him that they don't make Zu alloys to fit a...

He hasn't reached the point where he "needs" beadlock wheels at all; he occasional does some greenlaning. He likes the look of the wheels and that's it. As for his Mud Terrains - as I said before money is no problem for him. The only issue that is in any way relevant IS the legal side.

My double cab. Not as nice as yours but similar "style".

It's his only car and by his own admission he bought these wheels because "they looked good"! He does some green laning but that's it, money is no object. Had an answer from terrafirma saying that lots of people have bought them and they don't think they're illegal! Not exactly reassuring as...

The practical issue (not the legal one) is that the 40 (ish ?) bolts on each wheel appear to need to be torqued up regularly as they tend to loosen slightly which causes other bolts to shear under additional pressure this causes. If not checked this could cause extremely rapid deflation and the...

This from another site:- Single Outer Beadlock Rims Pros Cheap(ish) Easy to get in UK Sort of pretty much sort out the problem Cons Illegal for road use (confirmed with VOSA via 2x chats - breaches C&U regs) Insurance company refused if fitted any cover

Thanks. A further complication is that the wheels (Terrafirma) can be used without the beadlock rings so the wheel itself will be E marked, it's once the rings are fitted that it could be an issue. Would the rings need to be E marked too?

This is one of many I've found suggesting that they are: Terrafirma Wheels - International Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum Still, I know that this is the forum to get the right answers. Need to be sure on this though.

My mate has had Terrafirma beadlock wheels fitted to his Disco 2 and he's had problems with the bolts shearing. I did some digging about online and it seems that this type of wheel needs to have the bolts torqued up regularly to stop bolts loosening and putting extra strain on the tight bolts...
