y-townxj · Dec 16, 2006

I was wondering, if you guys think i should get bead locks becaus ei just got a smokeing deal on my wheels. Heres the deal, I have a locked, d30, 33'' tsl's and open 35, i am getting rid of the 35 soon. I wheel in mainly, mud and some hillclimbes, NO ROCKS, and was wondering if yall think bead locks would be good for me or not for me. Also, I was wondering who has the cheapest and best weld on, bead lcoks, and how much it might cost to get a welding shop to weld em up...thanks

In mud, beadlocks are a bonus. Anthing mud or SNOW where low PSI are required, yes.

Rockstomper.com has a good deal or the link from here in the vedor section.

Have you ever popped a bead yet? Do you think you need them?

Most bead locks are not DOT approved either, not that I have ever heard of anyone getting a ticket for using them onroad.

I heard that too...why wouldn't they be DOT approved?

You're telling me these snap on plastic chrome Walmart rims are DOT approved? lol

Ricers on the move!

I'm guessing either the expense of the process of having them DOT approved, or the liability risk involved with having a bunch of bolts spinning at freeway speeds and one breaking (which I've never heard of happening- not saying that it hasn't, but...). At any rate, I've been running WE beadlocks on my DD for almost a year with no issues with either the beadlocks or the law

I suppose that makes sense. Good point.

You think the majority of law enforcement even knows what a beadlock is?

And then now they have imitation beadlock rims and such....you'd never know.

There are so many simulated bead lock wheels on the market the fuzz doesn't know the difference anymore.

X2, If you haven't popped a bead, and don't reeeallllly need them.... you'd be better off putting that money into replacing that turdy five.

The cheapest I've seen are in the "vendor's give away" area right now. They're free, if you win.

This is the best price I have been able to find.
