Beadlock conversions

DirtMonkey · Aug 19, 2014

I was all set to convert some aluminum rims I have to beadlock wheels, and find that Champion Wheel just stopped doing crawler conversions. :dunno:

I had a set done by Champion years ago, and they are great. So I call OMF, (I had contacted them a long time ago when I did my first set [at Champion] and they had the attitude like they didn't care if they had my business or not)
This time they were very friendly and accommodating, but with the cost of conv and shipping, I'm better off watching the classifieds. So is there any place else I should consider to convert the aluminum wheels I already have? ???

A buddy of mine just had a set machined at a local machine shop fairly cheap considering

Yeah, if you can find a machine shop that isn't slammed. Those sumbitches barely have time to sell me a lil steel. :****:

Thanks! I was about to ask what about the weld on rings and outers, but I did some research and found diybeadlock.com. Things are looking up. Everyone and their dog has steel beadlock kits but not aluminum. If anyone knows any other good options, let me know. booyang
