Looks good. Think I am going to end up ordering me a set here before too long for my truck.

Are those just regular staz beadlocks, or are they hummer? I like them/forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif

 

[Stomper]

Thanks guys

Not hummers, they are 15" double beadlocks

 

[84gmcjimmy]

oooh ic. They look very nice /forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif

 

[cybrfire]

PM sent. Those turned out really nice.

 

[84gmcjimmy]

Are they chevy bowties something you asked for custom? How much did the 4 wheels cost all together? What backspacing did you get?

 

[Stomper]

I actually had cybrfire burn the bowtie rings, then I welded them on ground that off and had them powder coated

They are spendy. Somthing like $200 ea. from stazworks. I believe he has the prices on his site also. I have around $250 in them but I try not to think about that /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

Had to add that for ya. Thanks for the mention though. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

 

[84gmcjimmy]

ooh ic.
sorry for all the q's but, with staz's custom wheels, do you have to weld the double beadlocks on, or do they already come welded on?

 

[Stomper]

No welding required. They just bolt together...Look in my members gallery...I've got the install step by step. You can't learn if you don't ask /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

 

[84gmcjimmy]

Okay, I already seen the pics... I like 'em. Just one more question and I'll take a breather /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Since you said they just bolt on, if I wanted to take them off I can just unbolt them?

 

[Stomper]

Yes, when you take the bolts out of the rim halves [not the lug nuts] the 2 pieces seperate. allowing them to come apart. That being said, I havn't done it so I'm not sure what all is involved with that step. I know they won't just fall apart tho /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

 

[84gmcjimmy]

Ooh okay. Thanks for answering my question. Now get out there and test them /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Stomper]

I'd love to be testing them but that is still off in the distance somewhere /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

They are 15x10 with 4" of backspacing.

 

[chubbybob]

did you have any problems instaling the plastic inserts and if not how did you do it /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

I tried mine the way john suggested and im a big guy but couldnt do it his way so I used a large tire bar on the outside of the insert and pulled the tire over /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
it took about 5 seconds per insert. very easy to do.

 

[Stomper]

I just used this, worked very well

Thanks,
It did but only for a little while. It regaind its form by the time I was putting the rims on the tires.

I'm not sure how wide your rims are but the more width in the rims the more dificult it is to put the insert in. John said 15x10 wide rim was about as much as you can do in a one piece insert. /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif
