For those who have beadlocked stock alloys........

[xonetruthcrewx]

Give me the run down on things. Who? Price? Website? Satisfaction with the shop that did it and how things have been since. It widens the rim correct? What, an inch? Any info would be appreciated. I may acquire a set of wheels early this coming week that could very well have beadlocks in their near future. :D TIA.

Yeah, those are pretty cool. Earlier today i was looking a Second Air, which is pretty much the same as the Staun beadlocks. Quite a bit cheaper than beadlocking a set of wheels also. The only thing is that, i am kind of looking towards the traditional beadlocks because i want the extra width that comes with beadlocking rims. Planning on runnning wider tires than what should go on the rims as they are.

Who? answered in linked thread
Price? you must call them metal prices change all the time
Website? have you tried google? or go to my cardomain site for the link.
Satisfaction with the shop that did it and how things have been since. the linked thread should suffice
It widens the rim correct? no unless you specifically asked, I got a bit more than an inch of width.

Ok, price is what im looking for. Yeah prices can go up, but not too much. How about, When did you have it done and how much was it back then? Just looking for a general price. Dont really want to send out emails and make phone calls for something that isnt going to happen just yet. Yet looking for a feeler.

http://www.cwibeadlock.com/Conversions.htm - prices and everything.

It added 1" to the width of my stock SR5 alloys. They machine off the stock outside lip and weld the beadlock to the wheel. I was very happy with the service and turn around.

When I priced it OMF was more $$, but they do a fine job also from the number of folks who have used them. Shipping was the killer for me - I think it was $80 each way for my 5 wheels.

Thanks Mike. Lucky for me, both OMF and Champion are only 2.5 hours from me, so only some gas and a little time. Looks like it will run a little over a grand to have all 5 beadlocked. Thats what i was looking for. Now i have to decide if its worth it or not. Hmmmm, all these choices. Thanks again.
