custom beadlocks

[98-warrior]

pretty cheap beadlocks that look real but are fake..
you just need access to a plasma cutter and oxy acetlene torch.
i got some itp trac lock bead rings about $100
bought alumiweld rods, like aluminum soldering $30
and cut half of the outer bead off with plasma cutter and then alumiweld them together. the alumiweld is amazing cause it is stronger than a 1" thick piece of aluminum and will not break.
i will get some pics up when i get the rest of my alumiweld rods in. and im going to paint them blue.

icstfu: Hah, not being mean, just don't get to use that one a lot.

 

[98-warrior]

yea i know haha im waiting for my rods to come in and i will start.

quick question, why cut up the trac locks thou? You us ethe ring on another rim? I'm confuse'ed???

My front rims are reversed Douglas blue labels with an ITP baja ring wielded on. That least makes some sence.

i will have pics of them tomarrow, and i have stock rolled lip and if i just weld them on they stick out and look goofy as hell, so i need to cut the outside rim bead down the middle and it will set like a beadlock.

 

[DeadLastRacing]

So you bought just the ITP rings, not the whole rim? For $100?

 

[98-warrior]

yea i got two polished 10" rings for $25 and two polished 9" for $20
i cut half the bead off a bad rim for practice and i need to cut a lil less off my next ones.

no this aint a gold rim its just dirty ass ****

When can we see it with tires on? Does it look as good in person?

 

[98-warrior]

hopefully by next weekend when my dads friend gets done brazing the other 3. i dont have enough time during my break at work. i will try and get that one on tomarrow i like them so far. i mite take the paint off before i install them so it dnt ruin it but it was tough paint wen i pressed them on the other day. ill just tape my tire and paint the ring when i get the tires on way easier cause i have my rears flipped

 

[DeadLastRacing]
