They will get slathered with bead sealer. It has definitely been more work than I anticipated but I'm committed at this point. Couldn't bring myself to spend $1k+ on 16" beadlocks when I know 17s are in my future. Know a few people personally who have had good luck with them. I'm aware Erik is not one of them :)

Ryans sucked the worse


Jeff and Gif deal with them leaking, slime fixed most.

I did not do mine, I bought them already done with the tires on them.

I remember that the coning was the worst part of it. You really do need anti-coning rings welded on as well.

Mine came with the tabs that bend up for anti-coning.

Looks great but I love orange!

What did your bead width measure when completed?

Did you use top locks or regular nuts? 

I welded up a set last fall from AtoZ, because I too couldn't justify the cost of new.  Mine will leak down about 5 lbs over the course of 2 weeks, which is easy enough to deal with.  Will probably give all of the bolts another 1/2 turn before spring hits.

Yep, they came with top lock nuts. The last two I did haven't leaked at all yet... Second one had a leaky valve stem and the first lists 10psi since Friday night.

Did you do anything with the valve stem?  Thinking of moving mine...
