SILVER Star
There has been an increase in the interest in these rims over the last little while. The group buy will end in November so everyone get together a number of rims to place for order. Price right now is $379us per rim plus shipping which will be spread evenly across the group buy so it will be very minimal. The rims are only available in a 17" x 8.5" in a Toyota lug pattern. Load rating for each rim is 2750 lbs, backspacing is 4.5". The rims weigh in at 40lbs each. The rims are a dual beadlock and are made of a cast alloy aluminum.Colors available are black, silver, or argent.
The nice thing about these rims is that you will never need a tire machine again to install. And to offset cost per wheel and added weight I'll just run four per vehicle, and carry a loose spare. Once getting the hang of tire install on these rims it takes minimal time to remove and install a tire. And in the not so common total destruction of a tire it seems like the most logical way to run in my own opinion. Rather than buying 5 rims. Only items I would consider getting is spare o-rings, and a few of the bolts with nuts in the likely event that the threads will get into some rocks on some of our rock crawling trips. These rims are a DOT approved rim so no issues at all running on the street.
The only alternative for a street legal beadlock is the inner air lock since Staun has went the way of the dinosaur I believe. You could run a weld on and take your chances with getting in some trouble, not as easy to change over tires and is a single beadlock. But single bead is better than no bead.
Feel free to post up questions, or alternatives. Always interested in new products or different opinions.
Order List
canadian bum 9 argent rims with 4 extra o-rings (Something around a 40 inch)
Here is a video of how to mount the tires on the rims .
Here are some pictures of them mounted on a local Lexus LX450 this is the argent color rim.
This is a picture showing clearance with front hub. Locking hubs will have no clearance issues.
Here is a picture clearing the rear full float hub. So no clearance issues at all.
And here is a picture of the Ultimate Adventure Nitro Gear Cruiser.
Thanks,
