tjgrcd 10-18-2002, 01:35 PM well i am looking to get some bead locks for my toy rock buggy. i am not sure what kind and where to get them. What you do you all think i should go with. i will be running 38.5-14.5-15 SX's. should go new used. best place to buy? quality and price? thanks T1H5_TA3 10-18-2002, 01:54 PM search! its been beaten to death! nobody20 10-18-2002, 01:58 PM Check out this thread. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87017 SEARCH, SEARCH, SEARCH Newbie. :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: 4x4extreme 10-18-2002, 02:45 PM http://www.rockequipment.com/index.html I bought mine from them and love them:flipoff2: RedBullJeep 10-18-2002, 10:46 PM My choice after seeing a ton would be to get a set of the ProComp aluminum rims and send them to TR to be beadlocked. The ProComps have a much better inner safety bead than the other rims on the market and are priced way lower. Having a good safety bead on the inner and the beadlock on the outer gives you a little more peace of mind. As for TrailReady, their success is proven.

I can't imagine how much fun these questions are for the guys that have been around for a while on this site... Maybe that's why the word "SEARCH" always comes out first... camo 10-19-2002, 01:41 PM what is a bead lock ? tjgrcd 10-19-2002, 01:41 PM to all. i am a stupid newbie!!! incontrol 10-19-2002, 02:18 PM Originally posted by camo what is a bead lock ? Take a look in your broken parts pile. You might find one there. :D :D Jeepmangled87 10-19-2002, 02:27 PM MRT, or TrailReady, or cheap Hummer Wheels are the only wheels to go with. Theese are the best wheels ever made. camo 10-19-2002, 02:37 PM Originally posted by incontrol Take a look in your broken parts pile.

It's an anti-theft device so no one can steal your bead! DUH, Camo! Bead, LOCK!

As for the guy sayin I read it in an article...WRONG MF'r...I was one of the test vehicles when they were coming out with the rims...they really hold a bead. SO, to the unbelievers and unintelligibles :flipoff2: I addition, I just spoke with DuraLitewheels.com located in Oklahoma. They are looking at doing some new rockcrawling rims if anyone is interested. They make a super nice sprint-car wheel and want to branch out.

Let'um have it Dustin. we've all been there, done that, got the t-shirt, dont fit no more, tired of re hashing same old shit. morpheus 10-22-2002, 12:51 PM dunno what brand of rims these were ... nobody20 10-22-2002, 02:29 PM Originally posted by morpheus dunno what brand of rims these were ... The beadlocks have 24 bolts so their probably Champions. If the wheels were bought from Champion with beadlocks they are prolly American Racing as that what they use when you don't send your own wheels. CrazyHorse 10-22-2002, 02:50 PM Originally posted by morpheus dunno what brand of rims these were ... LOL, chris really did a number on that rim when he rolled there, I was in the media box just to the right of the bottom there when he flopped it over, then realised he shattered a rim when they righted the truck... godzuki 10-22-2002, 06:30 PM hummer bead locks. locks the inner and outer. a little more work but well worth it. | |
