Hey, got a question... not that I'm gonna hold anybody to their answers here, but just lookin' for an idea of demand.
We just got these in for 15" steel wheels; they're 1/4", 32-bolt, and not too awfully expensive. They're also set up so that you can weld 'em on to existing wheels without machining the wheel at all, if you want about a 2" wider (all outside) wheel--I made a set of 15x10's into 15x12's that way, really cheap-n-easy. Much cheaper than a set of custom 15x12 beadlock wheels, anyway, 'specially since I already had 15x10's and wanted to put 44's on 'em.
Now the magic number... the 15's are $75 a lock as a you-weld-it kit. The same thing, for a 16 or a 16.5, would be about the same, but just for giggles, since it's a little more material, let's guesstimate it at $80 apiece, for the same thing, to fit a 16 or 16.5 wheel.
And the magic question... I can't get these made in batches less than ten wheels' worth. Is it worth getting a batch made up of rings to fit 16's or 16.5's?
