The KMC KM229 Machete Crawl Beadlock is an beadlock-styled cast of wheel offered in Machined. Every variant is a 17x9 with a -38mm offset, so this is a deep-dish, wide-stance wheel and the bolt pattern is the main choice you make. KMC has been in the wheel business since 1982, according to the vendor, and this one is sold as a single wheel style and finish with the sizes listed as variants.
This listing covers 17-inch diameters in 17x9 (diameter x width). Offsets in the listing include -38mm, and each variant is one complete combination of diameter, width, offset and bolt pattern, so choose the full spec rather than only the diameter.
Fitment
The vendor does not publish a vehicle list for this wheel, so NVMOS is not claiming specific vehicles or years. What the listing does state is the bolt patterns offered: 6x139.7, 6x135, 8x170, 5x127, 8x165.1, 5x139.7. Start by matching the bolt pattern to your hub, then check offset, backspacing, brake clearance and tire size against what your truck or SUV actually runs. If you are not sure, call NVMOS and a real person will help you work it out before you order.
Warranty
The vendor lists these wheels as covered by the Wheel Pros Limited Warranty. Ask NVMOS if you want the details before buying.
Off-road use only
The vendor warns that beadlock wheels are sold for off-road use only. Wheels in that category can be illegal on public roads in many states and provinces, and the buyer is responsible for knowing the rules where they drive. The vendor text also does not say whether the beadlock ring is functional, so ask NVMOS about that and about mounting before you order.
Questions before you order?
Fitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships. Call or text Carl & Anton at (920) 249-7744 or use the chat — real humans in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, not a call center.
