I am glad i switched to the bead locks,(they are DBL) pretty easy to change tires and they look pretty sweet.

I have dbl locks by Mac-fab on my 12" champions. Using 28x10.5 or 275 radials works great. The biggest thing for me is being able to change tires anytime I want with ease.


One day I will have something cool here.

I have Weld double beadlocks on my Dakota PST, Holeshots w/singles on our small tire car and getting ready to send my Billet Specialties Street Lites on my street/strip Dart to Mac Fab to get doubles installed. I like the looks and being able to change tires easily. We will be changing out our singles w/ doubles on the small tire when it's back together.

We seem to have a quandry then It will very likely be for sale after the last two races. Unfreshened for less money or fresh and ready for more. Leaning towards knocking a good bit off the price from last time and leave it as is. Still running the same. Only has another 20-25 runs on it since last year. Will check the logbook and make sure. The small tire car will either get really small tires or we will begin it's transformation back to a Super Stocker.

I would like to get my Magnum 2.0's bead locked after watching a you tube video of a high horsepower 28x10.5 car without them almost pulling the tire right off of the rim at top end from the tire growth. Seems like different manufacturers have different specs as to what back spacing & off sets can be done. Guess i need to call Weld to verify if mine can be done or not.




That the thing,A friend goes low 8's on a smally tire and told me about the vid where he could see the wheel screws between the rim & the bead from tire growth.I know I won't be going that fast with this car,but if I have to get rims might as well do the right thing.Did notice quite a difference in price amongst beadlock rims

I'll say it again,I really like the rims with the pentastars


HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!
