I bought mine through offroadoverstock.com, but they were from these guys. They have since discontinued mine though.

Viking, check out top right wheel.

Thats what I'm talking about! 8)

Thanks for all the info guys ima order a set off of adamF on here an give them a shot...

What about anti coning rings I've seen where some people use fan belts? How do I measure for them just half the bead thickness of the tire?

And the diybeadlocks place seems like a joke from just getting on their web site... Why would they list the kit for 225 but u can't buy it for that???? By the time I was ready to order it was over 400 bucks. If I was gonna spend that much I'd rather just buy beadlocks ready to go.

I'm putting these on my beater yj on 33s so I'm not trying to spend a bunch of money

Sorry about the bad suggestion. Again, mine came from offroadoverstock (but were by DIY) and I didn't deal with them. My wife ordered them for me for Christmas. I just put in the good word for quality and quick shipping. I think she only paid like $25 a piece (per inner, per outer).

The diybeadlocks site says $225.00 bucks but adds an extra 50 bucks off the top then another 50 for 1/4in material upgrade and another 50 for any other option so I doubt I go with them... By the time I was done getting weld on beadlocks from them I could buy some nice allied wheels for a little more.

An I kinda figured the inside the lip kit would be a little Easier thanks for all the info. Keep it coming

I ordered from DIY.. Never again. Long shipping time and it looks like they were hand cut with a plasma..

I did have a set from offroad over stock that looked really good and they had fast shipping

No big deal I wish offroadoverstock was still in business

Go with these, I have done a ton of weld ons for people and these are the best.

Thank you for the feedback we work hard to be the best at what we do.

Also if i ever buy another set get ones that use nutserts. The nut and bolts get all quick

So it looks like the TMI inner ring has cut outs the you have to bend up then weld? Or do they already come bent and welded? I wasted a rim this weekend so I guess it's time to do a set of weld on beadlocks.

you bend them

Soooo there is no issue with one of the tabs bending at the wrong place and giving an uneven height for anti coning?? What's the best way to bend?

JRowe · Mar 31, 2014

Step eight Bend all of the Integrated Anti Coning tabs upward 90 deg. A large crescent wrench works well for this task. You will have to bent both sides of each tab up a little at a time until they are as shown in the following picture.

Step nine After all of the tabs are bent upright place a weld on the outer edge of each tab as shown in the following picture.
