Just lookin around but cant find any, does any one know about 2nd gen bead locks, i saw someone converted factory wheels into them. Is there a write up or anything? Id like to get them for my truck.. thanks:hi:

I jsut got some BTRs drilled out.. but I don't have any pics. And there are a couple people running Walker Evans. You can Convert any wheel to bead locks at OMF or Champion.

centerline wheels

Centerline Wheels

if you got a bundle

 

[mustard23]

oh yeah I forgot about centerline I did look in the those but man they are ugly.

method wheels will all are blanks and will drill them out and they have a new cast wheels that put them down in the BTR/Walker Evans price range..

sorry guys i dont need real bead locks, i guess they call them street locks? i remember when i worked at a tire shop that were super nice, black, and like 130 each wheel, it was an entire wheel. they just didnt have our lug pattern. Is there any links to said options?

 

[mustard23]

all those can be made in street locks..

maybe another stupid question but can i just order the omf 16'' rings and drill it into my rim, (im thinking this might not be safe), but it would be only 2 holes on each spoke. factory se 5 spoke wheels.

Do it right. Send your rims to OMF and have them machined and built correctly.

the only problem is this is my daily driver, im just going for the look, no real purpose since i live in orlando and there are no trails, maybe its a bad idea, i dont know. i was just thinking of buying the rings and having them drilled in, i dont want to weld on my rim. Just trying to do it cheap and look good

9/10 times that will bite you in the ***. You can try to get a second set of the factory rims (if those are the style you like best) via ebay, craigslist, the classified section here, etc. You could then send them to one of the companies to have them street locked. That would save money in the long run vs. buying completely new wheels that have the look you want while still allowing you drive the truck daily until the modified wheels are ready.

I think the BTR's go for like $200 and change apiece which really isn't bad at all for good quality rims.

I wish.. With the cost to drill, and tax and shipping mine are $410 out the door.

Whoops. I was going off memory of what the price was on the catalog sheet. Clearly that memory isn't too good. Still, $410 isn't bad for everything. It is a custom wheel after all.

yeah it's like $240 for the wheels.. but then they get you with $80 rings.. I haven't seen the brake down I just ordered one to test fit. and that was what the charge was i still need to order 5 more.

just have OMF convert them

find someone selling a set of used ones and then send them off

i payed 155 a rim for my beadlocks from OMF (theres a thread right below this)

Oh Here We Go, 2 Of Us Go Omf To Try To Be Original.....
Just Send Em Off To Omf. The Fitment And Quality Of A Factory Wheel With The Look You Want. No Spacers Needed. If You Dont Use Rock Domes/starz, And Paint Instead Of Powder Coat Youll Get Out About The Same As A Cheap Azz Aftermarket Wheel And Be Unique

 

[jstclair360]

I talked to bones over at omf, and were gonna try and come up with a "bolt on" application for the factory 5 spoke. Like i said i dont want other wheels and im just trying to come up with something budget friendly and looks good.. This whole thing might be full of fail but we will see, i will let you guys know what happens.. Im thinking drilling one hole in each spoke to mount to the rim, then have all the other bolts flush in the back. Like i said this does not have to be functual just good looking. and cheap!.. Im 21 and a firefighter so i dont make that much money and cant spend alot
