Mac Fab has several styles of lock rings, so you are not limited to what everybody else has. Those Pro 5 are very similar to our Sanders wheels, which were a bit cheaper
I plan on going to Mac Fab as I like his quality of work and his ring selection is trick also.

Dependant upon the style and backspacing, it may not be possible to double beadlock certain wheels. Single beadlocks will need screws on the none beadlocked inner side. HTH's

Here are the ones Champion just did for me. They are just single bead lock. We mounted and balances them our selves with a bubble balancer from Harbor Freight.
They charged like $540 including shipping. I had Jegs ship them directly to Champion. Their lead time is 2 weeks but mine arrived Tursday and they shipped them out in Friday.
Beautiful work, I was a little nervous since they were brand new from Billet Specialties as their polishing is awesome but you couldn't tell they weren't done by Billet Specialties themselves. They did an awesome job and very nice and helpful service!
I did it for looks and so I could mount and balance myself.

Beadlocks look totally awesome.
But looking at those MT beadlocks I would think that they would be using some form of automatic welding because those weld beads look like crap. From a large tire and wheel company I would expect much better quality.

Those welds were not done by M/T. When you get the double beadlocked Pro 5 wheels from M/T it is a 1 piece construction with no welds, I agree that those welds are ugly but MacFab has an awesome reputation for beadlock conversions and I wouldn't hesitate to have them do a set. The welds on my M/T wheels that Champion did are much nicer looking though

I did not see a reply as to wheather there is any DISadvantage to single's 
Yes there is a disadvantage. The single beadlock will have much more clamping force on the bead than the side that has screws or glue, this will make the sidewalls wear unevenly and M/T and Weld wheels strongly discourage single beadlocks and they both consider them to be unsafe, however there are lots of guys getting away with the singles without issues
