Another recommendation for Discount Tire. They have always treated me really well.
do they really carry beadlocks though? most places won't.
Looking at their website, they do not carry bead locks, or many off road brands.
The tire size caculator seems to have trouble with sizes other than P-metric as well.
Good place to get Wranglers or BFGs, though.
You can find weld on rings pretty cheaply if you do a Google search, then have a welder weld them to your rims.

It comes down to what do you want..
the CHEAPEST made beadlocks are Eatons.. But they have weak locks. If you do not wheel in rocks much you will be fine..
How good are your fab skills?? the weld on locks are cheap and strong..
Recentered hummer rims are another option..

Weld Ons
Mace is right on there, the weld on type are always a good option. Try Rockstomper:

These are interesting because they do widen the rim by about 2in. From what I understand they are harder to mount a tire on, but are really stout.

Another option which looks promising is pneumatic internal bead locks. These are donuts that fit inside your tire on any wheels and lock both the outside and inside beads. One big benefit of these locks is that they're street legal, while most bead locked wheels aren't legal for use on the street. A down side for the internal bead locks is the price- they are about $1000 for a set of 4. Here's a link to a site that has a review:
