Which 18" Bead-lock wheels??? Who has T-Sportsline CT6B, Unplugged Performance UP-03, or Martian wheels????

It looks there are 3 main choices, personally I prefer the meaty tire look over the 22-24" look.

The 3 I have found are-
1- T-Sportsline CT6B- I like them, but likely do not want all black wheels.
2- Martian Wheels- Like these a lot and would've been my easy choice, but then I saw the trim ring shows the metal wheel between it and the tire, it looks odd in pictures.
3- Unplugged Performance- UP-03, this looks really good I like the bronze they have done for a few customers and the Satin titanium is really nice too (but I would probably get it with a black trim).

Any others I have not listed that you have? On advantage for T-Sportsline is I live in GA can always drive to get them installed.

Waiting for my Truck trying to do some shopping before it arrives.

Here are the Martian, from what I’m reading folks are running them with the bead-locks installed so the lip doesn’t show. I’m not going to do that, rather just take it off the list.

If you haven't run bead locks before, I suggest doing some research to make sure they satisfy your intended use case. I have had bead locks on Jeeps before, and they work very well for their intended purpose (airing down very, very low while minimizing risk of losing the outer bead). However, there are trade offs, and for most people, it's not worth it. I won't elaborate here unless you want me to.
I don't have experience with any of the bead locks you listed, but I have Martian wheels on my M3 and love them. They are very well made and it seems like the owner is a pretty good dude. I bought 2 sets of wheels from them (1 for summer and 1 for winter), and had good experiences both times. I really like their designs and out of the ones you list, I think they look the best. Having the option to run them in a normal, non bead-lock position is also a huge plus in my opinion. If you don't like the gap between the ring and the tire and don't want to run true bead locks though (while still getting that look), I would look at simulated bead locks.
