Welding Question.

They're just a beauty ring with bolts.

Wow! That's cool.....that means they will work on alloy rims , too!

lol
I was just making fun of them cause they looked kinda cheap

and I know its a ghey user name, I just couldnt think of anything else

Be careful if mounting them on Spinners.
The serated edges scratched the shit out of mine.

Want that tough beadlock appearance without breaking the bank? Well, here is what you need. If you have steel wheel you can make them look just like beadloacks. Plus, these are DOT legal, beadlock wheels aren't. These rings are for 15" steel wheels only!

Why, pray, are beadlocks not DoT approved, anyhow? I've been wondering that for some time...

Don't go screwing up a perfectly good bullshit thread with a real question.

Can't help it - it's just who I are...

Got an answer for me? Preferably not "smartasstic?" I have been wondering about this for a few years - although damn little that DoT does/dosn't do don't make a whole lot of sense to me...

I agree.

Don't know what to tell you but my beadlocks are stamped DOT.

 

[5-90]

I agree.

Curiouser and curiouser. So, DoT approves some beadlocks and not others? I'm apparently missing more than I thought...

Pehaps I should peruse FMVSS once I get a few things fixed...

I agree don't mess up a perfectly bad thread by asking a real question.
But I think to get DOT approved costs money, and they just don't sell enough of them for it to be worth it for the manufacturers to pay for the testing.....this is just a guess though.

These are must when muddin'. The bolts on the ring act as little paddles and will pull your rig through anything.

Some guy from the Chicago area who owned a YJ with 10 inches of lift who wheeled Attica countless times told me this once. I also read it somewhere on the internet.

 

[Jump This]

Do you think mounting them backwards would help out in the sand?
Kinda like lots of mini paddles?
:dunno:

 

[Lincoln]

Well I broke down and did it. I got two extras for spares since they said if I dented them I would get a flat.

thats exactly it, DOT testing is very stringent and comprehensive... it takes money.
