I have used Carmen Saftey Locks for the last 3 years with no problems and will be getting a new set for my 8 lug wheels.
I paid $54 per wheel and thats with the aluminum outer ring and it should be a few bucks cheaper with the steel ring.
Phone # is 800-290-6519 located in coldwater Mi. and I don't belive they have a website :(
I bought mine direct but you can find them in some racer wharehouses.

I made my own, laser cut the rings, used countersunk bolts, rings are 1/4 inch, bolts are 3/8. 250 for the whole deal if you want some.

You dont have squat Chuck, until you come get your beadlocks from me! muhahahahahaha!
Rockstomper sells theirs for 300 but that doesn't include countersunk bolts, that is an additional price. Same basic principle/style of beadlock rings though. I took my pile out today snowwheeling and aired down to 1/2 a pound and they worked great. Protects my wheels from rocks and takes away the possibility of loosing a bead on the outer side. I love them!

Glad to hear that they worked great Eric. I keep checking the board to see if you have any pictures posted of the new upgrade on the truck. I'm dying to see 'em. Later dude...
