I have a question about bead locks... do they run them on both sides of the wheel... sure I've seen them on the outer but never seen the inner to see if its there

Liners are much lighter. But, I don't know how many sizes they have. Probably nothing for 10.5.
I personally can't see any point just putting them on the outside other than they look trick.
We just did a set of tires with trim adhesive on a new set of Holeshots. The owner was resistant about drilling his brand new wheels. I expect it is really going to be a pain getting them off without somekind of solvent.
You can run a lower pressure with beadlocks. Larry Perkins made the switch on his Pro Comp car a few years back and said it really helped with wheel speed and getting up on the tire. Would have liked to tried it but, the cost was too much for a trial for me.

on my duster i used the champion beadlock just on the outer and i screw the inner. it starts adding up in $ if you do both sides. also it added a considerable ammount of weight with just the one. i dont have any screws on the dart with a 29- 10.5w on it. with out any screews on them the move atleast 1/8" every hit. i need to doo something there. if your going to go double, save your lunch monney and get the welds.
That is what I am going to do as well (i.e. beadlocks on outside and screws on the inside). My car isnt fast enough to need both sides done. So there is no reason to spend the additional money. Now that I have Lenco in the car, I am going to need to do something. I really do not like the look of screws, so I thought I would just get the outsides beadlocked. My wheels are Bogarts and I just spoke to a guy there and they said they could take my wheels and add the beadlocks for $245 each.
