You should have an insert between the O-Ring and the balance media.

Correct and you also have a nice sized port in that insert for the media to migrate to the O ring... This also allows the air to get from stem to tire...

Working on that right now. Will let you guys know as soon as we have a price point set.

These wheels came from the military surplus warehouse with balancing weights already attached so they were balanced during use at some point. After we assembled them we drove on them for several days unbalanced and they were fine on the highway. I had all 4 balanced this morning and they balanced out very well and now ride very smooth with no vibrations.

Load rating on these 24 bolt wheels is 4080lbs per wheel. Max pressure is 50psi per wheel. The tires are load range "D". With 50psi max pressure. Load rating on these tires is 3850lbs per wheel. Even if you have a fully loaded and armored Land Cruiser I doubt you'll exceed even half the load capability of this wheel/tire combo.

Very cool to hear, did not know that the 24's had a 50psi rating. I'll be interested to hear how they balance and what tire combo folks run. I've been happy with my radial Rockers thus far but have had some balancing issues.

Yeah Ive seen wheel adapters before, I dont know know what the bolt pattern is for the hummer wheels, Ill have to look it up and see. There's so many of them out there I'd be surprised if there wasnt already something availible: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/search.php?searchid=18987346

edit: apparently they are 8 x 6.5, so it would be a 6x6.5" to 8x6.5", I'll leave it at that.

Last I checked they were 1/4". It may let some of the media up in there but it won't go far. I'd skip the grease all together on the wheels or o-rings. :)
 
A quick photo before locking up and heading home for the day. Have put about 500miles on then so far with varied driving from local streets, to highway, to trail. So far so good. And even on stock gearing with the PWR button engaged they feel great. I dont see the need for regearing for my use.

Maybe I missed it, but how thick are these spacers?
 
Any progress on pricing & availability?:cool:
 
Ok I definitely need these ... any news on pricing , availability ?!?!?!?!
 
Great Idea! I'd love to get a set when I get to that stage in my snails pace build. :beer:
 
I have a question! How do you balance those beadlocked wheels (in general)? Is dynamic balancing the only way??

That 80 with the military wheels and tires looks seriously bad ass, congrats!!

Conventionally works on any wheel.

The benefit to air softs ( on tires the 80s capable of lugging ) being there's no weights to dislodge and, more importantly, when chunking lugs off in the rocks, it'll compensate for the weight change.

Having done both on two separate vehicles with the same brand of bead lock wheel, both have merits, but conventionally balanced the last I mounted, knowing they'll be rebalanced when rotated.
 
Are they ready ?!?!?!? ... i am !!! XD
 
Testing is all done. We are very comfortable with the quality and strength of these adapters. Pricing and ordering information will be posted later tonight.

The suspense is building.....

I think you should do a count down and announce it at midnight. (Disregard that, just post it ;)
