I was talking to the store manager at a local offroad shop (no names) when Spike was looking for something. The Staun bead locks sound like a huge PITA. They are like $250 each plus another $90/tire to install. You have to drill another hole in each rim for the inflation valve (and most places will not install on alloy rims). Then it is a dance to get them set up just right. And then you have to go through the same thing everytime you change tires. It sounds like a huge PITA and over the life of the inserts it sounds like it would be cheaper and easier to purchase dual bead locks.

Its a lot easier just to buy a set of recentered H1 wheels and run 16.5's with a double beadlock. And yes, you can get them in 6x5.5, and backspacing upto about 4.5"

The staun deflators are really nice. I've used mine a few times now and they work great. Mine are set to about 14-15psi.

A freind of mine has a new set of the double beadlocks for sale for $620 to your door. They look like they are a good item, but I never really researched them. They are for 15" rims between 10 and 12 inches wide. They do work with alloy wheels, although you need to make sure the o-ring seals on the valve stems are tight fitting.

I WON a set of four of the beadlocks last year at GONE. I traded them for a new kickass Craftsmen socket set Big Grin I'dve kept 'em and run 'em, but as noted they're for 15s, and I rock the 16x8s baby, yeah.



If it has tits or tires, you're gonna' have problems...
