Les Schwab had no issue with these, at least to the extent of a yearly rotation and balance .

Well then, my mistake, quite sorry...................
EDIT: No disrespect, but I've looked into this again, and pretty much all the information I can find says something similar to this:
They are illegal in the US for on road use due to the fact that they are not an error proof system of mounting. The DOT requires that a tire and wheel combination cannot come apart."
In addition, close reading of the Roambuilt site reveals that they have a " Bead LOOK ring, and a military LOOK ring" (their capitalization), so not true beadlocks. Having said that, I think they are great looking wheels that don't require the maintenance a true bead lock wheel requires, and any tire shop will mount and dismount tires on them.
