best place to buy beadlocks???

[k5-newbie]

Looking at getting some 15" beadlocks, not sure if I want MRT or Allied wheels. I am not sure where to order them or who has the best price? Anyone have a suggestion?

If you have steal rims now just order some DIY beadlocks and weld them on

Yep.

good idea, but I HATE the wheels I have now and I am swapping from 10 bolts to D60 and 14 bolt, so the ones I have now wouldn't work anyway

Huh??????

1 ton axles wont fit 15 inch rims with out a lot of grinding on the brake calapers, why dont you look into larger rim sizes?

 

[sled_dog]

yeah the difference between 15" and 17" rims is not much at all. Go with 16s or 17s.

I know im gonna have to grind...15's just seem to be cheaper.

I really think grinding on a brake caliper is a really bad idea, thats just my opinion though

That’s the main reason I went with the 15”.

When I was shopping around for the Allied’s the cheapest place I found believe it or not was Discount Tire. I asked about them for SNG’s when I was getting a tire fixed and they spit out a number I liked. It’s been a while since I was looking so I don’t remember the price they gave but it wouldn’t hurt to call one up and see what they say.

Local Discount tire wants $189 bucks for a 15X10 allied beadlock wheel. That seems a little high, am I wrong?

The price isn't to bad considering that Allied is a well known brand. If you are going to stick with the 15" rims you can get a 2.5" backspacing and it will clear the calipers. Looks kinda funny IMO.

I found some Eaton beadlocks from National tire for 150 bucks a piece for 15x12's.

Are there only 3 manufacturers of beadlocks, the only ones I have heard of are allied, MRT, and I guess, now, Eaton?

I remember it being more like $130-$140 range. Well the second best place I found was Blue Torch but when I went to put the link in this post I got this. I’m just no help at all am I

I take it you haven't looked in a 4x4 mag in the last 5 years. Trailready makes 'em too, and I haven't heard anything bad about them. If you want 17s, you might try walker's.
