Bead Lock Rings

[smudvapor]

A couple of people have asked if I can get some bead lock rings made so I am asking if anyone else is interested. The more sets I have made the lower the price is. What I pay is what you pay, I make no money on these. As of right now the price for scalloped one is 17.08 a piece for a total of 204.69 and a set of non scalloped ones are 199.32. I will wait until till everyone has ordered and then have them made all at one time. If everyone gets back to me with how many sets they might want I will get a new quote and give you the current price like I did last year. Thanks.

I Take it that these are Steel rings ?

[smudvapor]

Yes, 0.188" A-36 steel plate. I can get aluminum ones but they are more expensive and I would have to get a quote for them.

Do these use the existing wheels?

[liflod]

Does anyone have any pictures of how these are adapted and used on the wheels?

As I take it you weld the inner ring to the inside lip of your factory wheel then bolt the outer ring to it with you outer tire bead between the two rings.
That is how a Factory bead lock wheel (after market) is made and used. This way you Don't have to by new wheels just upgrade you stock one's !

As I take it you weld the inner ring to the inside lip of your factory wheel then bolt the outer ring to it with you outer tire bead between the two rings.

That's exactly how they're assembled. There are two rings per wheel, assuming you're only locking one side of the tire. Weld one of the rings to the rim, install one bead of the tire, then pinch the other bead between the welded ring and the loose ring. I've done a total of 12 of them for the racers. Egoperf welded them up for me since he has a nice rotator making it a piece of cake.

Here's a shot of one welded up, and then smoothed out to let the one tire bead slip over a bit easier.

Anyone hear if he got orders for these as of yet ?
If so what is the price now ??

I had to google it for it to make sense to me. Here's a good video.

Just went on line to compare this wheel with a new Argo beadlock. The new Argo wheel cost over $500 a piece!

YEAAA BUDDYYY !

Honestly? If you're cool with 8" rims, get a set of six of these and get some beadlock rings from Scott and make them yourself.

I can get a set of 6 shipped (Buffalo) for $96.

Hi Plott, Go back to the last page. Liflod gives a site with a video of a ring being welded to a rim ,a tire being mounted but left outside of the welded ring and the second ring being bolted to the welded ring with the tire squeezed in between. Wow, looks foolproof.
