USWheel?

Been thinking about getting these custom built with the appropriate backspacing instead of spending more $$$ on spacers. Anyone given them a try?

This is odd as there is a company in LROI which sells them. Maybe just nothing available on this side of the pond...

I had stockton wheel make up my beadlocks. Maybe some of the guys that went to the Chile Challenge can comment on them, but I think they're pretty darn beefy and they fit right with no problems. They'll custom make whatever you want, but you gotta be willing to wait for a while to get them.

Stockton Wheel

Give 'em a call! Just remember, tell 'em exactly what you want. I forgot to tell 'em to countersink/taper the lug holes so they're straight drilled. I haven't had any problems with them loosening, but it could happen.

I don't want beadlocks. Regular wheels are fine for me. Stockton will do that?

btw, their beadlocks also have the DOT stamp in them so if anyone wants to see it, you can show 'em.

Just make sure you check/search the GD board first...Stockton's cust. service sucks balls'....They were trying to tell me that a 16.5" beadlock was impossible, and that NOBODY can or could do it. Then I called Trail Ready and ordered 4.

Check the board...You'll see.

Yep, so I hear from everyone.

Unfortunately, not many companies wanted to make rover pattern beadlocks last year. Well, there was MRT, but they don't fit right and wouldn't make new centers for me. And you have all heard about their crappy service too.

However, I do like the stockton wheels and they're strong, so hopefully I won't have to do that again anytime soon. Only think i'd probably do differently now is go to a 16.5 or 17" rim to get rid of some of the sidewall roll that I get with a 15" rim and 37" tire.
