Would like some 10in wide beadlocks, what choices are there? Can you get Centerline Convo Pro's converted?
TIA

I've seen Holeshot Wheels convert theirs to beadlocks. I suppose someone with the right equipment & welding skills could do most aluminum wheels. But I think it would be better to have someone do it who does it on a regular basis. But I don't think it's inexpensive.

If interested, you can check out what Holeshot has available and give them a call.

before you start bead locking your wheels think about the weight you will be adding. You might want to just buy a set of welds, mickeys or sanders/americans as they will be lighter than a converted centerline.

{unless of course you are just doing it for looks, then I would be using Mac fabs)

champion wheel can add beadlocks to your wheels for about $175/lock.

I agree with Bigtime. If you don't need them, don't add them. You can check Champion wheels website but they add about 10 lbs per wheel. that's a lot of unsprung, rotating weight.
