i definitely understand why they try to keep beadlocks off the road. The general population is horrible at tire and wheel stuff. atleast in my experience. I get people come in all the time who are running 12 psi in their cars. lots of people running on steel too. Its scary to think these people are driving next to me on the road. rims look good though!

 

I have a set of the weld on beadlocks, from Greatlakeoffroad.

 

Internal Bead Locks, problem solved.

Staun ftw.

 

they showed something like those internal bead locks on Xtreme 4X4

 

My only problem is the price, I bought all 4 of my weld on locks for a little more then the price of one staun. And then I would have to buy rim stiffeners on top of the stauns.

 

Those were the beadlocks they showed on Xtreme.

But I agree them things is pricy. Worth it, cause it is a double bead lock, not just the outer one. I think Petersons did a review on them, and loved them.

 

id rather just buy a set of H1's, they cost about the same.

 

well if you buy soft 8s then the rings then repaint or powered coat then you are around 100 a wheel plus the price to have them welded on.


how does that compare to a bead lock rim?

 

I paid 50 dollars a rim, plus 45 per rim for rings and bolts. thats 95 a rim and I do my own welding and the rings double as rim stiffeners.

 

plus H1's go for about 50-75 dollars each around here.

 

so yeah its cheaper to have you get them and ship them to me

 

The main benefit of the Staun is they are easy to balance since theres nothing on the exterior of the rim

 

do you have a link to them?
