Cab, look up champion wheel. A few options on color and style, but looks like they start at $229/wheel single bead lock. Had mine done several yrs ago and they do nice work.

Dave, what is the difference between a single bead lock and a standard bead lock?

Re: Converting rims to bead locks, who does that? - 10/24/17 06:36 AM

I believe it's only one side. I may be wrong here. Standards are both sides of the rim I would imagine?

I honestly dont know for sure. I believe mine are standard single because they do offer different styles. Give them a call tomorrow.

Single just one side right? I like how Champion gives you an option on the type/style of the beadlock ring.

Mine are single. Didnt really need them, but it makes changing your own tires a snap. It takes alot of power to the ground to require double bead lock.

Holeshot Wheels here in Florida can do beadlocks. Their wheels or I believe yours too.

Not what you are looking for but we made our own steel rims with bead locks, fake bolt on but they work.

old 14" centers in 15x8 flipped outer bands with a 16" fake bead lock smile
Because the band is flipped you have to fit tires from the back and they blow out onto the bead lock, fake but it works.

Are those Champion or Weld Magnum's on the front of that Orange Beauty?

...in my experience. To have YOURS converted probably MAC FAB and then Champion in that order based on customer feedback. There are others but, I don't recommend. You can purchase either a single outer (for looks) or a double directly from WELD or Champion and possible a few others. You should order them respectful of the TIRES and BRAKES you plan to use. So the tire bead is 'crushed' the correct amount and the brakes clear the backspace (provided you choose the 'double'.

One of my winter projects is to send my rear Magnum 2.0's to have them bead locked. This post is help giving me that push. Weld wants $552.49 ea. (per wheel) to do theirs.

Mac Fab is $850 to $1150 for a pair of rims with doubles, depending on which rings you get.

Doubles with Wilwood brakes. Can't say enough good things about the service from Tommy Kirk's crew. Fast turnaround, and they wheels looked perfect when I got them back.

If you have a Weld wheel you want a beadlock on Weld will do it as well...Just FYI. Otherwise MacFab, Champion or Lindsay Racing Wheels all do very good work

iagree
I called them earlier this week and they said right at a week turnaround time from receiving to sending them back , I'm not sure if the prices quoted on their site include shipping them back or not, probably not.
The back spacing matters so call them first before sending your wheels to them scope
Thanks to all of you that chimed in up
That is the help I needed to find the listing for all of them bow

You have to cover shipping both ways. It was much cheaper sending them back, as I'm sure MacFab gets a discount on shipping. The beadlocks are actually the smallest operation at Tommy's business.

Thanx Jeff! Wilwood has a similar kit for the Big Ford Ends like I have. So, I guess a brake change is in order before I get my rims done.
