I gave my 2 cents about beadlocs..... Why are you ******* with me.

Actually, mine have the lightweight option as well, dont have a picture of them without the ring but all of their 13" bead lock kits use their light weight rings

Glad my spot is able to help everyone out! We've been going there for years for the company off road cars/trucks. Here's a shot of my honda stuff

Nice thanks for sharing.

For those who are using omf any factor why did you went with them? Since champion seems to be a great company also popular go to place for coversions?

I have a single beadlock with Rim screws, one set of slicks leaked not because of the rim screws. The slicks leaked itself. Never showed any in even wear.

New slicks don't leak at all. Been the same tire pressure for over a week now and those havent shown any in even wear and the wheel doesnt spin. So from my personal experience on my 13in Exospeed wheels, I havent had any issues

Thanks for the reference Alex!

Went with OMF because they were just about the only company I could find that does 13" beadlocks. Plus their pricing was pretty damn good considering what I've seen from others, and great customer service

I get pissed when people give out the wrong info. Especially about safety.. 100's -1000's of drag racers run a single beadlock . The same amount run a wheel 2" or wider without beadlocks most don't even run screws anymore.

hello1320

Ok thanks for the information

Instead of giving up why don't you explain, Paul? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

There are many ways to accomplish the task of preventing the tire from rotating on the bead and even lifting from the bead due to rotational force.

Nhra requires beadlocs in certin classes....so this doesn't really apply to them.....but this is Whay I've EXPERIENCED..... Beadlocs are more for safty than anything else imo..... If ypu feel comfortable running a 10.5 tire on a 16 inch rim at 200+ with a single beadloc or with screws than go ahead...... Those tires grow Soooo much it will to rip the tire off the bead.....but when the same car gets outta shape you'll wish had them......... When I say fast I mean fast on a small tire...... A class limited by tire size no rim size.... I don't give a flying **** who does what or who has done this and that...... Screws will keep the tire from spinning on the rim....beadlocs will provide the same function.... But the bead will pull off the screws in extream conditions ( which is what I ment by FAST CARS ) Watch the tire on dick heads car.....and tell me it Dosent NEED a beadloc..... He says it doesn't...lol. I told him head crazy.... This is just my opinion..mixed in with a little of circus clown spectator ****

I agree with you, Paul. For these cars, I don't think anyone is really pushing the limits, except a few. Dick head is the exception. I too think he should have them, but it's his ***.... not mine, so I don't give a ****.

My car doesn't make enough power to really justify the beadlocks, but the reason I went with them was to reduce wrinkle, and in turn reduce tire shake issues so I don't have driveline problems.

hello1320

Totally understand.... You made the right decision

ahobbs

lol @ the underlining name

nonvtecallmotor

How many drag cars have YOU seen rip the tire off the bead? and not cut before hand?

These are not rock crawlers..

Got traction

None, but I think some people might have issues with rim screws stretching the holes in the tires when the tire is initially shocked. Over time, this causes the tire to leak.

Its more noticable in a softer compound sidewall slick.

hello1320

To be honest its hard to tell....

hello1320

I will tell you I've NEVER seen a post crash tire sepration on a beadlocked car

E Town DSM

the pro fwd cars ran single bead locks on wider rims going 200+ just saying

nonvtecallmotor

LMAO.....

PRO1

Single bead lock is all I've ever seen on drag application, I wanna get my welds done just because it looks cool :p

hello1320

Mabey I said it wrong...You know what I ment... Next time I spend 100+k on a car ill be sure to order single beadlocs
