: Beadlocks $70???
tZUKnami 05-07-2002, 07:43 PM 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?
Make sure it's a complete wheel, not just two rings and a handful of bolts. A lot of race shops and parts catalogs sell a beadlock kit for about that price, to convert a standard wheel to a beadlock.... gotta cut off the outside rim and weld the inner beadlock ring in it's place, you supply the wheel.:smokin:
tZUKnami 05-07-2002, 08:00 PM Nope, Had the guy call the comany on that one. They say they are a complete wheel with rings bolts and valves. And I had him verify that they are not simulated too. They say they are true beadlocks. And they only come in 2" BS for 15x8 so they guy "warned" me that they may stick out a bit more than now...:rolleyes:
If you can refuse them with no strings attached, then give 'em a try! Sounds like a deal. ;)

That's what I have.... and they do :D
fatkid 05-07-2002, 08:13 PM Never heard of them, some post a pic. If you have nice alluminun wheels you can have Champion do there thing for around $100-125. There is also OMF, they look just like the Champions.
tZUKnami 05-07-2002, 08:57 PM A bit too much *Bling* for my "thing"...thanks anyway FatKid :D That's what I have.... and they do
When I asked for the 2" BS and he told me that's all they could get it in I laughed.:smokin:

you gotta keep us posted, what chain of autoparts store was that?
ROCKILLER 05-07-2002, 09:45 PM yea, $70 bucks is a steal even if you can only get as few sizes and one BS
zukstur 05-07-2002, 10:05 PM how many bolts on the bead lock? The more bolts the better the locks.
Rabid Rhino 05-08-2002, 05:23 AM I think we all need to know what they're like & who's supplying them.
If they're local to you I'd even try to get a back hander from them if they start selling loads all because of people seeing this thread.
I'll take 5

muleskinner222 05-08-2002, 07:22 PM I'll take 5 also....
Rudezuk 05-08-2002, 10:24 PM Yeah let me know too!
Bobzooki 05-09-2002, 06:40 AM Do they come in a 15 X 7 with 2" of backspacing? If so, I could go for 5 also...
tZUKnami 05-09-2002, 09:49 AM It sounds to me that many are interested...and that I would be letting all of you down by not trying them out...Damn you guys...I guess as soon as I can I will order a set. I am going to Spain next week so that will slow the process by a few weeks. I'll keep everyone posted.
Rudezuk 05-09-2002, 10:08 AM Can you give out the info on the shop that you are dealing with?? I would like to give them a call!

`Ya there cash! Mine cost more than my Sammy is worth!:flipoff2:
tZUKnami 05-09-2002, 10:29 PM I think the wheels are Eaton brand. They have 16 bolts:( But that's better than none. I'll have to check them out before the price goes up. Rude, I'll get their number for you if you don't feel like waiting untill I check them out.
tZUKnami 05-09-2002, 10:31 PM RudeZuk, Don't you already run beadlocks?
Rabid Rhino 05-10-2002, 05:23 AM Going to Spain ?
If your'r going via London just throw 5 in your case, you can pad them with a few clothes so they dont knock & I'll meet you at the airport with $350 worth of Euros. Commission free !!! Is that a deal or what ??
