Haven't found much on the board about OMF beadlocks. Kilby and All pro both sell them and they look to be good quality. I know champions are good beadlocks. Anyone have experience with the OMF's? I can get OMF's a bit cheaper because I don't have to pay shipping on them, BUT what I MOST care about is getting the best wheel for my rig! Thanks.

Best wheel? Get a set of MT Challenger wheels and have beadlocks put on from either source. I have Champions and have had no problem. A few friends have OMF with the same results.

Were I in your shoes, I'd give Brad a call and order the OMF.

OMF look good and if they are cheaper go with them, Ive seen a lot of buggys running them.

I know that if I get the aluminum rims from a buddy of mine, and I know I'll have them sent off to OMF. Mostly because they are fairly close, but also because I've seen a close up of the work they do, and I must say, Im really impressed!

I own the OMFs. I am EXTREMELY pleased with the quality of their work. The beadlock and outer ring are flawless quality.

The Classic II they're welded to suck. I've cracked one already (bead surface on the back, not heat related from the welding) and the rest look like shit already after 8 months of abuse.

I'd buy a forged aluminum rim, instead of cast.

I have both champions and OMFs. The OMFs were cheaper (shipping etc.) and similar in quality to the champions. I bought my OMFs at All Pro and was happy with the service.

anybody got some pics of the OMFs

Go to all pro's or kilbys websites for pics. Kilbys has the best pics. Sounds like some forged wheels with OMF beadlocks will do nicely :-)

Here's a pic I snagged from Kilbys website.

Broke a new champion just last week...I was really surprised but it was the inner bead that let go. About 8 inches of the inner ring snapped off. That was a weakness in the "outlaw" rim they used, not in the work they did. I'd now go with the ProComp rim and send it off to someone to have it beadlocked. It is a little thicker and their casting process is SUPPOSED to be better.
BTW, I like TrailReady's rings far better, so I'd look into that. They made me a set of custom rings to fit my champions as they had no inventory when I first needed em...next set I buy will be from TR.

Do they sell champion replacements now or was it a one off deal?

Does OMF Beadlocks have a website? I tried looking before and came up with nothing. :confused:
