What kind of beadlocks did you get? I was looking at the Staun internal ones. I kinda like the stealth idea plus their DOT approved. Oh yeah, your rig is going to be sick. I'm just a little jealous  |

What kind of beadlocks did you get? I was looking at the Staun internal ones. I kinda like the stealth idea plus their DOT approved. Oh yeah, your rig is going to be sick. I'm just a little jealous I ordered the wheels from that National Tire and Wheel advertisement in an offroad mag. They are Eaton 15x8 8 lug. $129.00 each plus shipping! I looked some other meathods of keeping my tires on, but when push came to shove beadlock rims are tried and true. I looked at quite a few different products that got my attention, there's a company that sells the "nuts" you weld under the lip that the ring bolts to. Another guy sells a fine thread screw and silicone that you screw right behind the bead. In all my research there is something out there for every budget and rig. If you are interested in some other "nonconventional" methods let me know and I can help you track some down. -cj |

Those look pretty good man, and the price is like $100 less a wheel than those stauns I was looking at.

Mmmmmmmmmmm! I had a chance to pick up 4 of those, with 37" boggers at about 30% tread for $200 & I didnt take them. They were my lug pattern & everything!  |

Because of the DOT thing? If nothing else you should've picked them up for future mods.
