I can't wait to see them!

 

[CherryK5]

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

 

[BoondocK5]

I'll bet Kert is all over this idea! Those look awesome!

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.

Mostly drafted. I'll have a draft to you tomorrow. Eyes go cross from looking at all the circles.

Sweet! Sounds great. Thanks Kert

first draft

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?

 

[sweetk30]

Well ****. Done. Tractor supply has those I hope.

 

[CherryK5]

Final design. No valve notch. And widened the ovals out. Im stoked.

 

[cybrfire]

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.

 

[sweetk30]

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.

 

[CherryK5]

Should I use super short ones or longer ones
