Looking for a set of 16.5 beadlocks for 8x6.5 bolt pattern. Old school Trail Ready wheels would be cool.

Not interested in STOCK H1's, I have some already.
 
just curious if you are getting rid of the Swampers why you don't get 17" beadlocks?
 
I'd like to convert to a modern rim size but I really like wide wheels and just haven't found any 16" or 17" wheels that are 12" wide. Stupid reasoning but it's a look I like so unless the tires sell super quickly I'll just find something that fits the 43's.
 
I looked in to converting my Welds before I sold them, $2k worth of nope. :eek:
 
Could find a 17 you like and have the barrels widened to get the desired width

Would you be interested in a set of 5 20X12 Weld Cheyenne that have been converted to bead locks? Only problem is that they are 8 on 170mm pattern but I saw in another of your post that you were considering running 15” wheel with spacers or very low backspacing.
 
I appreciate the offer, converted Welds are a smokin cool catch. Honestly, I bet those wheels would bring a lot of money in a Facebook Weld group.

I’m specifically looking for some Trailready wheels and @fourwheelerjeff has a set that I’m going to buy.

There is no telling what these cost to build. I traded a set of CUCV tons for them. The guy that I got them from said they cost over $2000 just to convert to beadlocks. The cheapest that I think those factory wheels were when they were new was about $500 each and I think when they stopped making them they were around $1000 each. I was planning on using them and building a set of Dana 80s with F450 knuckles and 40 spline axles until I bought a bunch of Axletechs for really cheap. Then we went through nearly 14 years of drought. Being a cotton farmer and going through 14 years of drought takes all of the “extra fun money” away. Now I have a bunch of cool parts with no money to build something with.

Pics? Just curious. Sound like badass wheels
 
@rksjd8420 HOLY CHIT! I didn’t realize you meant they were converted to Trailready beadlocks. Man, if those were my wheels/tires/paint budget I’d be on those. Really cool wheels!
