He is one of the top vendors on the pirate boards. There is a thread there where you can ask for a quote and he or one of his employees reply fairly timely. It is not a big operation so lead times can be a little while and they are usually swamped it seams. However, I've yet to see any complaints about quality of the workmanship or not receiving product.

Wheeled ok this last weekend, needed to massage the front left a little, and still need to massage the front closet to the doors just a tad more. Still no problems with the factory plastic. My 33's looked like training wheels, my 35's looked factory, my 37's look much better!!!!

The OZ tires did better then anticipated on clearing out the mud from the tread, same spots I always stop at when I arrived I would usually not be able to see inside the tread. It would be caked with mud on my Mickey Thompson MTZ'z. These had only 1 or 2 spots on every tire caked a tiny bit. Paid $340 for 6 almost brand new tires, $370 for 5 brand new rims, all shipped, taxes, mounted, balanced, on the rig, out the door less then $850.

Sorry to hear that - I know it's a side buisness for him, but he was real nice when I got my two tires from him to replace ones I'd screwed up.
 
Ran across this pic of an 80 with the recentered beadlocks, have absolutely no info on the rig.

That guy was at the 4x4 expo last year. I think there is info about it on the website on the side of the truck.

Just checked the site again and he has gone up a little on pricing, still very reasonable IMO. It looks like you could leave off the powder coating and grooved tires and shave close to 600 off your price.

The powder coat definately adds a bit, and the groving adds $55 a tire, which considering the labor doesn't seem too bad. I'd just buy a tire grover and grove them however I want (which I plan on doing in time).

But I have more time than money (and not alot of either), I also feel powder coated rims are a luxury I don't need. I also think I'd like to try and groove them a little differently to improve off-road ability - take every other outside lug down to 1/2 height, then put a cut 1/2 way through the center lugs sort of like the Genneral Grabbers, or some of the other mud tires you see. It'd be a bit noiser on the road, but should clean out a bit better.

Not to take buisness away from a fellow Okie - but Trailworthy is pretty close to that with no rock ring, no insert, no powder coat. I think his shipping on 4 tires used to be about $140 anywhere in the lower 48 to a transfer dock - which just means you have to go pickt them up somewhere in town - I've done this a couple times, it saves big time if they don't have to send out a truck with a lift gate to a residential neighborhood. Just FYI. Make sure you know if you're getting 8-bolt or 12 bolt as well. The 12 Bolts are more expensive. Also make sure you're getting new o-rings, I get the impression they're not very reusable.

How do these trail worthy bead locks handle on the freeway? Do they balance out within reason with BB's?

That looks great. Did you get pressed centers, looks like 8 bolt?

Does anyone know why you shouldn't run the flat centers on the street?

This is totally a guess / assumption, but, the pressed centers fit up flat to something on the rim - which is why you only get one choice of offset - it's determined by how deeply the center is dished / pressed. The flat centers have nothing holding them front to back, or level. So they can be catywompus (one of them engineering terms for crooked). If you have a little run out on a trail truck and are only goin 10-30mph max, it's not as big a deal as when you get them spinning 80mph down the hwy.

That's my guess anyway.
