Welding Question.

CRASH · Jun 29, 2006

I'm thinking of buying these and welding them on to my steel wheels. What kind of heat range should I be using? I'm thinking 6013 rod in my A/C buzz box.......

These things are really cool, here's the description:

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 not go all out and TIG them on?

Jes · Jun 29, 2006

Those are DOT legal because they're "beadloacks" not "beadlocks".

Now that I look at the picture more, it seems like they simply be pushed on to my existing wheel. Note the serrated "grip" edge on the back. This is great news, as if they ever get caught on a rock, they can pop off before they get damaged!

How hard are they to install?
Anyone have experience with these?
Any writeups on the install?
Please advise.

if you mount them inside out I bet the serrates would help grip rocks, even better the sidewall tread.

More importantly, what about color options?

Can I get them with button head allen bolts?

What about bolt head protectors?

Would that work on my facory alloy wheels?
My buddies friend said his dad's lincoln could do it.

Damn it, they're only available in 15's. Dave 'the tool' Taylor is going to be all over these.

let me know if anyone finds them in 14s, I need some for my Honda.

DUDE! Don't weld them on, then you can't remove them to protect them from scratches when you wheel!!!

Those little hooks on the back are so you can just pop them on and pop them off for the really narly curbs.

They're just a beauty ring with bolts.

It would also keep those spotters in front of your rig!
