what is a pinned slick? Is that like bead lock?

 

screws through the bead into the tire. not a beadlock, a beadlock bolts the bead to the wheel. these are sheet metal screws through the wheel into the tire.

thannk for the link, i know how to pin tham , i was just wondering how many people were running them, i dont want to drill my new bogarts.

 

If I understand what you are saying then I am running that. I have sheet metal screws through the rim into the bead.

 

I've been running Weld import magnums with screws for a while now. When running low air pressure on 26" slicks you want the insurance that the tire will not move inside the rim. This is more of a safety precaution. The screws will also wrinkle the slick more under load which will inturn create more contact patch to the track.

 

yeah we generally always screw our slicks too

check this out, these have been on the market for 15" wheels for quite a while but we can offer them for the popular 13" wheels that a lot of Honda's and Acura's run now too.

potentially

the idea is to get the slick not to move on the rim during hard acceleration/launch, etc so you can effective put the power to the ground

I can tell you that we spun our tires around the rim. You could see the bead was glazed from rubbing on the aluminum.

 

i didnt want to drill my new bogarts but it looks like i may.

 

I spin my 24.5-8.5-13's about an inch a run..
I'm pinning-beadlocking them very soon..
