New DOT legal beadlock coming soon!

Spent a couple of days with Kevin and Stover at SEMA. Very positive responses to the wheel. Got a couple of good pics of a section cut of the wheel. It really shows how the wheel works.

There has been been a lot of speculation on the install of the internal locking rings. Here's a video of an install.

Also, there's been a lot of interest in black so it will be an available finish. If all goes well, wheels will be available end of March.

The video is done with a 42" pitbull rocker. Load E 10 ply tires 37" or smaller are not recommended, but a load range E 10 ply 38.5" Pit Bull Maddog was tested and installed well. All other sizes above 38.5" tall are recommended regardless of load range.

I wanted to report that B.A.D. Wheels is now accepting orders on the Eklipse 17 wheel. They are also coming out with a non-beadlock version. Both versions of the wheel is for the mild to moderate wheeler and should be ready in late March. Same platform as the beadlock wheel, without the mechanical locking element, but it relies on an enhanced bead retention surface. It should be about $100 less that the Eklipse 17 wheel. Should be a big contender in the non-beadlock offroad wheel.
