Has anyone ever put them on any wheels and driven them? I am thinking of buying soem cheap ass wheels and doing the add-on beadlocks. It's a lot cheaper and I have a friend who owns a machine shop who can help me.

i added them to my old 5 lug rims before i went 8 lug. they work but have are extreamly thin comparted to some of the others that are available. i say if you want a do-it-yourself set get the rockstompers.

I wouldn't bother with Bart Beadlocks, that is what I have on mine and if you drive it on the street at all they stink. They ride horrible and you better carry tools around with you mine seem to always want to leak air or pop bolts right off.
Just my 2 cents

With the search function?

OK, I'll bail you out, but only this time

Rockstomper beadlocks (http://www.rockstomper.com/catalog/wheels/beadlocks.htm)

Thanks, but I found it already. Of course, it would have been a lot less writing and fucking around to just have typed www.rockstomper.com in the first place. :flipoff2:

The add on kits are cheasy... I run Bart Wheels with the 16 bolt locks and I really ahve never had to tighten a bolt, broken a bolt, etc... Never dinged a ring, even when i had 31's with no air... The weld ons have some thinner rings... I won't ditch mine for a long time for sure... Hugh AKA Punkskalar

The BART bealock kit for $50.... do you to cut have to cut the rim or just weld them on like you do Rockstomper?

The BART bealock kit for $50.... do you to cut have to cut the rim or just weld them on like you do Rockstomper? and are the BARTS metal to metal suface, the Rockstompers are'nt:question:

the barts just weld on, no cutting of the wheel required. They are thin, but they work. I have run them for 3 or 4 years. when they get beat up, just beat them back out. Mine are ugly, but they still hold air.

I'm running 15x14 barts with 44" boggers. I hadn't realized before purchase how thin the rings were. What are some possible upgrades to these wheels. I can't see my getting rid of them without having first used them, but I'm curious as to whether or not anybody's fooled with using a larger outer ring or something along those lines.

do the rings bolt on metal to metal when torqued town?

nope.

dose the MTR do it yourself kit bolt metal to metal?
