[plott hound]

wow,thats slick.i might be interested in a set of 8 for my HDI.

Hi Smuddy Mudder, Pike here from Toronto Canada, Have you ordered any of these yet, I am very interested I have 2012 750 HDi. I would like to bead lock the inside and outside, what is your experience with that? Does that does mean I need 8 or 16 sets? What does scalloped mean, is the curving between the holes?

[wedge]

Yes Scalloped is the one that is milled out between the bolts. Thy are a little liter but still as strong.
If your doing both inner and outer on an 8 wheeler you would need 16 sets. Two per wheel.
Still waiting to hear back on these also ?

[smudvapor]

No one ordered any so I never had any made.

Got ya ! I would have thought that thy would have by now ?

[smudvapor]

They are fairly expensive unless I have a bunch made. Last year I had about 10 sets made and the price was good. I can have one set made but I would have to get a quote. The turn around time is about two weeks.

[wedge]

Is the inside ring drilled to be Tapped or do you need to put nut behind it for the bolts ?
I have two sets of wheels at the shop in 8" and some 9" also.
I am thinking of two sets for the 8" wheels. but would want the Scalloped. Hope some others jump on board as well. We recondition wheels here at ReWheel so if others wanted there wheels upgraded I can do that for them here.
Maybe that way we can get more orders for them ?

They are drilled and you put a bolt through with a nut on the back.

Bead lock rings

I just sent in a request for a quote for some more bead lock rings if anyone is interested. I don’t know what the latest price will be but I can tell you that in July 2016 I was quoted:

Scalloped $17.08 each

Non-Scalloped $16.61

These are for 8” wheels

Depending on price I plan to get a set or two for myself.
When I get the new quote I will let all of you know. For now I just want to get an idea if anyone else is interested. The more I order the more the prices drop. After I get the quote I will give it a week or two before I put my order in. Let me know.

[smudvapor]

I just got a quote back and the price for the non-scalloped is still 16.61 each. I also got a quote for two sets and the price dropped significantly. That price is 12.62 each. Like I said, the more I can order the lower the price gets. These prices are good for the next 30 days. Let me know.

FYI when I say a set I mean 12 pieces.

what keeps the bead on the inside of wheel from separating? do you only need to do outside?

[wedge]

The outer tire bead is Sandwiched between the outer lip of the rim and the new outer ring. You need 2 as 1 is welded to the rim and 1 bolted to it from the outside.

[smudvapor]

I am getting ready to place my order for bead lock rings. If anyone needs a set time is running out. Thanks

[smudvapor]

I only have about a week left to place my order before my quote expires so if you want a set let me know. Thanks.

[smudvapor]

Last chance guys. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on this. I don't want to leave anyone out. I can order them any time but like I said, it is cheaper when I order a bunch.
