Cab, look up champion wheel. A few options on color and style, but looks like they start at $229/wheel single bead lock. Had mine done several yrs ago and they do nice work.

Dave, what is the difference between a single bead lock and a standard bead lock?

I believe it's only one side. I may be wrong here. Standards are both sides of the rim I would imagine?

I honestly dont know for sure. I believe mine are standard single because they do offer different styles. Give them a call tomorrow.

Single just one side right? I like how Champion gives you an option on the type/style of the beadlock ring.

Mine are single. Didnt really need them, but it makes changing your own tires a snap. It takes alot of power to the ground to require double bead lock.

Not what you are looking for but we made our own steel rims with bead locks, fake bolt on but they work.

old 14" centers in 15x8 flipped outer bands with a 16" fake bead lock smile
Because the band is flipped you have to fit tires from the back and they blow out onto the bead lock, fake but it works.

...in my experience. To have YOURS converted probably MAC FAB and then Champion in that order based on customer feedback. There are others but, I don't recommend. You can purchase either a single outer (for looks) or a double directly from WELD or Champion and possible a few others. You should order them respectful of the TIRES and BRAKES you plan to use. So the tire bead is 'crushed' the correct amount and the brakes clear the backspace (provided you choose the 'double'.
