DIY BEADLOCKS???

[MR.ROCKAPE]

SINCE I AM NOW DOWN TO FIGURING OUT THE WHEELS ON THE LO-BUDGET BUGGY....IM THINKING ABOUT BUYING SOME CRAGER SOFT 8 17 X 8 OR 17 X 9 WHEELS AND GETTING A DIY BEADLOCK KIT TO DO ME A SET.....


ALLIEDS ARE GONNA COST ME $250 A WHEEL!!!!:eek: THE BLING WALKER EVANS OVER $350 A WHEEL!!!!(AND THEY ARE HEAVIER THAN THE STEEL BEADLOCKS!!!!):eek:

ANYBODY GOT ANY EXPERIENCE???

DR???ANYONE???

Fawkin do it!! it is low budget after all right?

I'm having trouble believing the walker evans are heavier then the steel beadlocks though...

Well there is definitely enough vendors on pirate, I like the MRW ones myself since they have a recessed area for the bolts kind of like a rim protector.

Refresh my memory so that the rock rings don't come out to small again. All I had really changed was to increase the inner diameter on the ring, locate the text further in and eliminate the holes. Also change the 'bridges' on the text to be thicker so that a rock doesn't completely destroy them.

Oh and make the OD on the part 16"??? Or did we decide on 15.875 I think. 11" ID
