Blame the wheel manufacturers, not the laws.  The laws state a wheel needs to be DOT approved.  It's been that way since dirt was formed.  But the wheel mfrs. don't want to got to the expense of getting that approval.  They'd rather let you deal with that risk and just put some fine print on their packaging.  We'll eventually see more and more get approvals as time goes by, but until then you gotta make a choice.

On a side note, with all the simulated beadlocks that ARE DOT approved (and some of them are very hard to tell if they are BLs or not), I would think it's pretty hard for the police to determine whether a wheel is approved or not.  Who knows, though.  It's just not on their radar right now.  That could all change tomorrow.
