The beadlocks were converted by Champion. I ran them for a season. Never had air issues, but the bolts kept breaking the heads off. This was on a street truck that I did about 5k miles with on the road.

Were you breaking the grade 8 bolts that Champion includes?

Wasn't their bolts. But yes, they were grade 8.
Quite a few places can take your stock rims and machine off the outer edge and place a beadlock on them. Try Stockton Wheels . They do that too iirc.

Those look pretty cool. Keeps one in a stock look. However I am looking to widen out my base, and go with 10" wheels. Just going to be plain black "Rock Crawler" wheels from 4wheelparts. They're steel, and cheap so the additional cost of secondairs won't hurt too bad. Besides the second valve, it should be a pretty stealthy setup. In any case it makes a good excuse to purchase some Staun tire deflators and if I'm feeling really rich, a Powertank
TY
Does anybody know of anyplace that sells secondairs for less than say $175 a tire?????
Dats getting a little pricey when you want five tires.

Call OK4WD in NJ and ask for Chuck. He might be able to hook you up with a deal...reffug said:Does anybody know of anyplace that sells secondairs for less than say $175 a tire?????

Thanks Nick.
Stock rims are 16x8 and generally when a company adds bead locks to a wheel it will widen the wheel by about 1.5". That would bring you close to the 16x10 rim that you want.

Mook.....secondair's are internal beadlocks.
16X8 = 16X8 and yes its what I want.

Oops,
I meant when adding external beadlocks like in Slee's picture.
