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.

You running doubles Jeff? What rear Brakes are you using? I'm looking at getting the Mac Fab Doubles and my rear Wilwood brakes need 7.03 min radius. The Mac Fab ring is 6 3/4" inside radius (13 1/2" dia.). 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

Mac Fab is $850 to $1150 for a pair of rims with doubles, depending on which rings you get.  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  Thanks to all of you that chimed in  That is the help I needed to find the listing for all of them

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.

STEFF, my brake kit is 140-0260-B. 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.
