Finally got around to ordering my beadlocks.
Kert is doing me a custom set based off a picture of some I like.
I'll post up the pic once he gets them drawn up.

He's runnig a sale btw. Get on it! 220 for a set of 4. Best deal on the web right now. Give him a holler and order up!

They'll look a he'll of a lot like this. With a small notch for the valve stem.
I have a couple ideas floating around. But this is what they're basically going to be
 
i feel the same way... who needs beadlocks when nobody can see em :dunno: :popcorn:

I want some bad, but cant with the fake beadlock wheels i have now. Makes me sad

Throw them on a lathe and knock the fakes off and have Kert make you an aluminum inner. Or buy cragars to make real beadlocks. :thumb:
 
Mostly drafted. I'll have a draft to you tomorrow. Eyes go cross from looking at all the circles.:D
 
if me do your self a big favor.

weld up the side hole for the stock valve location and redrill in to the middle more.

then this eliminates the notch in the ring.

i did it to my new rims before blast n paint.

Arent those holes some stupid unheard of size?
 
Final design. No valve notch. And widened the ovals out. Im stoked.

If I remember there are a couple different sizes of valve stem holes. Like sweetk30 said, 5/8" is one. There is another that is smaller. Get your valve stems first and drill accordingly.
 
been over 1 year so i lost some info.

if i recall its 5/8 for small and 3/4 for big industrial /farm / old school stuff.
