[surg82k5]

Has anyone ever had these rims, here is a link to a tire and rim package that i might be thinking about getting just wondering if they are worth it. Here are both the ones i am thinking about.

Unless you just like the look, I fail to see the point of street locks.

you do know that they're NOT beadlocks right? Just decoration...

They are just for looks but I think they look sweet. Check out the Readers Ride section, there's a red Blazer in there that has them.

Is there any working value to these rims? Are they stronger or are they just extra decoration on a rim? thanks

they say the lip is stronger, but have you been bending your steel rims? For me they wouldn't warrant the price at all. Hell, you can get a set of beadlocks for nearly that price and still have a functional set of rims.

Yes, I have been bending my steel rims. Right now three out of four are bent. That is the beauty of steel rims, you just hammer them back into a relatively round shape.
I still think these are pointless, though. They add more rotating & unsprung weight. That is never a good thing.
Kind of like the lowered 2WD P/U with nerf bars and brush guard. They just scream "poser"
