Do they have an anti coning ring?
(Is that the right spelling of that?)

I bought a set from Dan at RuffStuff specialties. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/15-beadlock-kit-p-12.html I also used the anti coneing ring. Its a pretty straight foward install, just a lot of welding, grinding and rattle can work. I'm pretty happy with Dans stuff, good quality and quick shipping. They seem to be holding air good too.

if you're going to buy from some backyard fab shop with no customer support, and likely crappy quality control, you might as well only spend 235 shipped...

they probable dont even have a Tax ID, so you wont even pay that pesky sales tax!

if you're done screwing around, call Chamion, and order 5 BRAND NEW aluminum rims with 5 BRAND NEW rings already assembled, from a reputable manuacturer, come in a box, packaged, shiney, with a warenty, with everything - no headache on your part...

FWIW - i run steel wheels, and am saving my pennies for these Champion Flush Mounts... they performed VERY well at JV last weekend, and I am sick and tired of bending my steel wheels and loosing beads as a result...

I have to pimp my buddies shop, They make weld on bead locks for steel or aluminum rings. you can even get custom outer rings cuts, or just custom outer rings to bolt up to your MRT beadlocks...

Jeff makes the stric9 beadlocks for Rich. Jef made my H1 rock rings and my buddies H2 beadlock kits.

Personal preference. To each his own.

I HATE having 32 bolts, and opie not everyone has a grand to drop on wheels when it'll work fine for 235
