Does anyone have any actual experience or have they seen a Keystone Beadlock up close??? They are $70 a piece at a local Auto Parts Store and the guy assures me that they are for real. He says if I don't like them when I see them I can refuse them even though they are special order. Anybody seen them?

If you can refuse them, then have them get in and see what they look like. If they are any good let us all know. Were in MD are you ? What Auto Parts Store are they at ? I'll have a buddy of mine in MD go order some for me if you don't want to. If you do order them take some pic's to post for all of us to see. If you can't post send them to me I'll post for ya.

I'm in St Mary's County to be exact. Patuxent Auto Parts is the place but they assure me that any Kestone Wheel Dealer can get them at the same price. Let me know what you find out. I'll probably order in a few weeks but just would like to have some kind of idea about them before I get my hopes up. One thing is assured, when I get them I'll let everyone know if they rock or suck as soon as I figure it out.

Do you have a part # ? I have a friend thats a Keystone Dealer, and yes if you oreder something in and don't like it or it won't fit you can send it back. :D Let me have the # and I'll order some in too. Can you get them with any back spacing ?

are they a full wheel, sound like it may be just the beadlock kit like rockstomper and bart sells

any news on what they are ?

Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that those are the Eaton beadlocks(only beadlocks Keystone distributes). Rockbound, from the bbs, has a set. They aren't the best, but they are beadlocks. $70 sounds pretty cheap, probably right around cost.

I just checked out Nat'l Tire And Wheel. Those Eatons look like them. Looks like I'll have to check them out.

any one tried Bart-Loc beadlocs?


made by Bart Wheels Summit has em for $49.69./pair

I think those are a KIT for outter and inner beadlocks. Are these them? http://store.summitracing.com/partimage.asp?part=11313&page=1

yup those iz itz:rasta:

I take it you just weld 'em to a steel wheel. and viola right?

I have run the Bart beadlock for 4 years. The are made from thin stuff and deform easily. I just keep taking them apart and beating them back out with a BFH. They work fine and don't leak, but I would not buy another set.
