Bodywork is much more expensive than reseating beads, or mounting your spare. Beadlocked rims, are not only not DOT legal, but IMHO not neccessary unless you are running huge tires at low pressure (<12psi). If you are looking for that "Tough Beadlock Look" then check out http://www.spencerlowracing.com and ask them where they got their beadlock look-alikes.

If you are blowing beads that often, your money is probably much better spent on a Powertank, as you can air up your tires, run air tools, and reseat your blown beads trailside with it.
