ok guys at what power level do you have to start using bead lock rims to keep them from spinning in the slicks????

 

theres a guy down here having that problem hes at 600+whp. you can always mark the rim and slicks with paint to see if its spinning or not.

 

You can bolt the bead of the tyre to the rim, that works well. Its lighter and cheaper than beadlock.

TBH it is baller and the new Exospeed wheels look ill with the beadlock!

 

i know i am on borrowed time, but i am still un pinned and no beadlocks either. at the least i will be pinning the slicks soon.

 

yeah ima test this theory that im spinning the rims in the slicks next weekend in noble ill mark them with white chalk.

this is the only thing we can think of at the moment

i cut 1.79 60's run 144mph out the back door, and i gan 39mph from 1/8th to the end of the track.

 

You are spinning them.

 

I have been wondering the same damn thing, I went to the track couple weeks ago and forgot to mark my slicks and wheels. I would guess im spinning them with 1.5. 60s but im sure we are only really doing it out of the hole and maybe 2nd? Who has done some texting with this? Beadlocks look sick, but a double beadlock is pretty expensive.. I would just screw the wheels

 

man i dream of 1.5 60's lol

and yeah im thinking of screws myself now

 

Ya, It seems I have my 60' down, just have to work on the rest, lol. I just ordered my star 8 wheels and almost did the double beadlock and would of but with a 6'' bs you have maybe a 1/2'' to the spindle, and the beadlock could take that up. What wheels you running now?

 

i was just looking at the star8

im on some lenzo's

 

I marked mine years ago back when I had my Integra and was running mid 11's, and they were spinning on the rim pretty bad. I have been screwing mine every since.

 

yeah i was just talking to my boy's at mkc in kc they say they just screw theres down

any links to the correct screws???????????

I dunno if I would do it your self, we have a tire shop up here that has a machine for it or somehthing, would not want to ruin a set of wheels.

 

nope not me besides im fixing to buy some new exospeed bright gold ones to match my skinies lol

 

should look pretty good! Hope to see you in noble, we will be there but not sure if my car will be, waiting on my new frontend and my wheels. Suppose to be here wed but dunno how much of a pain it will be to fit the frontend.

 

yeah man see ya there

 

james from ipg did a write up on it

Beadlocs are only needed when your rim is wider than your tire. They keep the bead from separating off the rim during severe tire growth. Watch Millers tire on the big end during the last extreme import event.

 

well i did the mrroso screws in the rims, and it made a nice differance

10.6@136 at 19psi spinning tires out the hole with a 1.8 60'

this does help alot

 

good **** man!

 

so what were your before and after times?

 

before I had ran 11.03@132 with 26psi that wa slast year (500hp)

this yeat it was 11.22@139.94 23psi (610hp)

tonight 10.6 with 19psi

 

300 HP and up.

SlicksMH

 

you saying 300hp and up needs to be using the screws????????

ide probly agree trying to run tired at 7psi or lower for the air pressure is pretty low, and could easily spint the rims within the tires took me a year to figure this out lol.

 

Yes.
