After the 38's my 5 inch BS wheels are not cutting it, i convinced the "boss" that i need new beadlcoks, and I can't decide between MRT's 18 bolt, Scott's (rockstomper), High impact (http://www.high-impact.net/beadlockbrochureinsidepage.htm) or Bigfeck's(Aggressive Off Road )

Price is always a concern but is not the main factor, Champions are way $$$$ (get it)

Plese post some of your Beadlock facts and thoughs about these to help aid my choice, they need to be 15, 5on on 5.5 with 3 inch BS

I love my custom Stockton Wheel beadlocks. Super strong, 3/8" centers, thick outers, self-centering ring..

I'm going to try to shoot some new pictures today and post them soon...

Go local!! They have awesome customer service too!!

I've got Eatons, and the wheel is beefy, the ring seems a little chinsy, but I haven't ran them yet, so we'll see. I don't see to many out there using Eatons either. Maybe there's a reason. :eek:

Gabes, wheels are BAD ASS!!!, they are as beefy as any out there, and beefier rings than any I have seen. The inner ring which self centers the tire before mounting the outer ring, is a slick design. They also have a way cool, unique look.

So am I. Haven't had a problem yet, and 18 bolts are alot less time consuming to mount than 36.

The MRT's were the cheapest I found.

If cost was not a factor it'd be Champions.

Myself and BillaVista have some rockstompers on the way, I'm sure Bill will take and post many pictures of them when they arrive.

I have to agree with ExtremeCJ...Trail-ready(s) are the most bitchen' I've seen...Gotta' love that alum. outer ring with counter-sunk bolts...And are available in 15, 16, 16.5, 17, and 20":eek:

Hey ExtremeCJ...How long did the anodizing last? One run? I'm thinking about using clear rings.

You asked for opinions.....so here's one!

If it's not Rockstomper it's either a weak and flimsy "better of on a little light weight racecar" or it's made of / with soft and cracks easily aluminum :flipoff2:

There....but, opinions are like .....

Seriously, a quick search should turn up a bunch of data.

For cheap, brutal, heavy duty kickass made for the rocks, I don't think Rockstomper can be beaten.
