We only mounted one today, I see tomarrow if there is still 20lbs in it.

 

[James K]

Nice. What kind of cost are we looking at?

 

[Shawn]

For everything,
Rings,
Bolts, nuts, washers,
Fan Belts,
Paint
Tires dismounted,

$300.00

Not a bad price for Bead Locks,

And it was So Easy..

 

[Caleb]

uh no thats not a bad price at all considering I almost paid that PER wheel...

 

[Bones]

DAMN!! Can I snag a set and put them in my suitcase when I visit?

Are those butten head bolts and do they use nutcerts or nylocks? Good work! Like the paint to

 

[James K]

Cool. Did it take you most of the day to do?
How good was/is the outer edge of your rims?
Did you have to do anything special to the outer edge of the rim?

 

[Caleb]

my opinion is that when I get new locks I wont get btton head bolts...the reason being is that using a damn allen head socket gets annoying when torquing them down(and I only have 20 or so on my TR locks compared to his 32 )...and if they happen to get smashed or stripped the head is already round so it will be a PITA to get them off...JMO though...button heads do give a better clean finished look though...

I am so jealous!!!

Nice work!

Let's see,

10 min. to grind the edges of all the rims.
30 min. to weld all the rims.
A few hours to paint.
About 20 min per rim to install.

Like I said, EASY

My rims had bent outer edges, rock rash, etc.
I just used the grinder to remove some of the chrome rolleyes: ) and clean off the edge.

I thought about going with the allen heads, but I'm glad I didn't.

Nice work!

Not ordered, just went down and bought them These are part of their inventory. Just give them a call inadvance and make sure they have a set.
I got a set of 4, and I'm going to get the 5th one soon.

Well that process looks familiar! DIY's are awesome! I haven't had any problems with mine yet.

Yeah Herzog, I'm jealous of you too. Glad to hear they're working well for you!

Thanks

Another question as far as bolts. Do they offer them as a counter sunk version?
