You can take almost any wheel and send them out to have the BL added. Many guys did that to their Weld's....

<--- these wheels are a true 3 piece, centers are magnesium and they will make them in ANY size you want. Oh and they are also cheaper then Exospeed. Had mine built in about 2 weeks to my door.

PM me if youre interested in a set.

Can I ask why everyone feels they need beadlocks? There are some circumstances where I can see it is needed but I dont see anyone doing it for those reasons.

I like beadlocks for the fact that you don't need to use any tools to put a tire on the rim.

cheap wheel aero 13x8 or 15x8, 15x10 with bead lock $70 - $130 each. i dont see the point in putting them on unless is a dying need they add about 4,5 pounds more to the wheel most of us have or have a friends/shop with tire machines to slap the tires on and if u worry about losing air pressure from the side wall put 20 psi in the tire and drian it down when u get to the track..... idk they look baller i guess haha

not sure either... we used non bead locked regular ol exospeeds for the majority of the year last and and we never had a problem. people running even slower than us...which is pretty slow in the grand scheme of things... were saying how they needed them.... whats the proper reason to use them anyway? what i hear from other people is that they use them because they spin the rim in their tire? which i find to be strange because there are people with the exact same tire and wheel setup as us complaining about that and its never been a problem for us....ours moved a little after about 5 runs but i didnt think an inch after 5 passes was hurting anything so we said screw it.

I've marked my wheels/slicks, and the tires move 4-6 inches per pass on the rim, and since I re-sell my slicks after a dozen or so passes, I don't want to drill them and kill their resale, hence the reason I want beadlock wheels.

Neither one of those are reasons why to switch to beadlocked wheels but hey your helping the industry out anyway.

The beadlock is set in place to prevent spinning the tire off of the rim at very low air pressure and when the tire expands extremely up top.

I never said it was a reason to use beadlock, I just like the fact I can do it all myself now. lol

On top of what you stated there are other reasons why using a beadlock rim is good too.

Some of the cars out there would benefit a lot from a beadlock wheel. Some already have them and I'm glad they do, the amount of tire deformation they get off the line is absurd. Without them they are just losing time and feel. Reynolds car is nasty off the line, last season they changed over.
