I went the bead lock route, and had a custom set of MRW wheels built to my requirements (17x10). Mine were the first Budd Pattern wheels they build, but they had built for the off road and 2.5 tons axles before. they have since built several more pair, both bead locks and tubless.
The only issue I had, was I failed to tell them and they failed to ask the trucks weight, and I needed more bolts for the bead locks for on-road use.
I love the wheels though, even though they are overbuilt and heavy.
Happy New Year,
Will
