HomerTaco's big old bucket o’ bolts build

So they are not a beadlock per se. But the rim does come apart so it is easier to install an internal beadlock and mount /unmount tires?

 

....what makes dem so much better?

 

On a note with the steel wheels, they have a nasty habit of shearing the lug mounting face off of the rest of the wheel when under heavy loads, like 35's.

On a side note, from what I can gather a good set of forged alloy wheels are much stronger than a set of steel wheels, as well as a tiny bit lighter

 

More bolts?

 

Dual internal beadlock. Huge band fits between the tire beads and the two pices of the wheel bolt together to make a street legal beadlock wheel. I've run them at 2psi without problem.

 

What internal you run?

 

Plus premium wheels typically have less radial and lateral run out than the cheaper Chinese wheels, are closer to neutrally balanced, and have hub bores for their specific vehicle. Unlike the pOS wheels I got that have a 108mm bore and are not really round.

 

More than the tires you will put on them...lmao

 

I run the band that comes with the wheel and some Dyna bead balance beads, bolt them together, air them up, mount to the truck, and drive. Done and done.

 

And now I'm lost.

 

Did not know they came with internals. Awesome.

 

Google is your friend

 

Currently it's not. Trying to use it to translate what my professor wants on this damn final.. not helping. Came to TW for mental break.. more like mental breaking

I look into it later, now that I blew up Homers thread again.

(sorry Homer)

 

How to assemble Rock Monster wheels.

 

Yes. But...a true beadlock clamps either one or both beads between the two pieces of rim. Not Street legal.

 

So looks like that internal beadlock does not require inflation. Hmmm. I am only familiar with Staun internals.

 

Rock Monster wheels are in fact street legal and you can cross international borders with them as they are even stamped "DOT legal" which home made wheels won't ever be.

 

I like em. Thanks for making me spend more money...

 

Thanks Joe.
