Beadlocking wheels

Post by 85BJ73 »

Can anyone tell me where I can get a set of white spoke steel wheels set up with bealocks, and any idea of cost?
Ideally I would like a set of the inflatable ones like Staun make, but at a grand......it is a bit steep for my budget at the moment.
Cheers,
Shane

or you buy white spokes for $85, then take them to Howat Engineering in Lower Hutt, and pay $100 plus gst and he will beadlock them, and then you have to get them powdercoated at a cost.

Cool, thanks guys 8) , I found the inflatable ones too, do they work OK? If it is the way to go, I will do it as soon as funds allow. :D 8)
EDIT: Hey skid, are the steel bead locks road legal? Do they beadlock both sides of the wheel? I gotta admit I like the look of the internal inflatable ones, they just seem simpler to me.
