After a summer of wheeling I was goofing around with the rolling stock tonight. Had it in my head that the 39.5 TSL's weren't rolling round because I didn't have the Allied lock rings centered right. Nope, it's the oval tires. The Allieds would center the tire exactly the same as on a regular non-lock wheel.

Has anybody else had their rings get closer and closer to the wheel? I torque mine to 15 in/lb and after lotsa wheeling you can't fit a dime between the ring and the wheel. But they hold air and have broken no bolts.
Oh yeah, with the observed loss of clearance under the ring, the rings are coning a bit, so that only one edge of the flatwasher contacts the wheel. But still no problems.

Just wondering how everyone else likes 'em.

I've beat mine pretty good. They have held up extremely well, better than I expected. I haven't had a single leak, the rings lips are still in good shape, no broken bolts, slight coning of the ring but nothing major.

Can't beat 'em for $150/wheel in 8 lug.

Mine are holding up well, and without leaks also.

Tip from an old aeronautical engineer friend ...
Always turn the cuped surface of your washers down on the mating surface, not the sharp edged side down.
Reasons: The sharp edge cuts into the paint and when the metal underneath corrodes the fastener loosens. A stress line (circle) is also created.
Additonally, the dished down face contacts the mating surface better, graduating from the hole edge on out.
And in this case, holding even better because the edge of the beadlock ring tends to want to concave anyway.
Just think about it ... :p
