Trying to save some $$ here
Looking at the Bart wheels from talking to people the barts seemed to snap a lot of bolts (only 16) but there is enought room to drill it and make it a 32 bolt wheel (jermey did this)
Or should i just buy MRT's 18 bolt wheel those seem to never have a problem
The nice things about barts is i can pick them up local, ie no shipping $)

MRT is really fawked up right now..I wouldn't order a fawking valve stem from those idiots. There's a nice long post in the Land rover forum about them...
i had 16 bolt bead locks and never snaped a bolt . but then again i had a 4 banger and did not drive on the street.

Forgot to Add as well, Barts have a self centering rim, so it should be easy to install and ballance
hmmm i know MRT is going through its new/old owership, i wonder if he is willing to work a deal, i will have t find out
Mine still goes on the street.........I have to flat tow it to trails :( :(
Just got my new rockstomper beadlocks in the mail today, its great to come home to new jeep parts........32 bolts each, i hope my arms can hold out long enough to torque them all:p

MRT is definitely in the "figuring stuff out" stage now. They said wheels are 8-12 weeks out from the order.
I recently went through this same dillema. I wanted to go cheap, but in the end decided that my Jeep was worth the extra $300 bucks.
The guy running High Impact (a division of Allied Wheel) worked at MRT for 20 years and the wheel he helped design is tough. 32 bolt, rolled outer edge, self-centering, and the best part....
shipped in 1-2 weeks and arriving in 3 weeks. Customs are available in the same time frame also.
