Off Roading Bead Locks?

[AMcCormick]

Is any one running the Staun Internal locks? What are the options for a double lock? Why is there such a huge price difference between the Walker Evans and the Welds? The stauns sound like a good alternative, curious if any one is running them.

not running them, but hear mostly good about them. more of a PITA to mount than anything.

you want to stay with aluminum wheels?

WE are pricey partly due to name and demand. WE wheels are forged and machined. Are Welds still forged?

Have them, love them, hate to install them. Walkers are engineered beadlocks and welds have them welded on.

Thinking about the stauns on the stock aluminium wheels as a cheaper alternative to a whole new set of wheels. Still dont know what the cost is for these. ROCKJEEP are you running these on the Cummins?

I have run my jeep wheels on the dodge in the dunes. I have a set of 35" paddles I put on the dodge. Works great.

i dont know anything about the Stauns sorry.



i am running the KMC Enduro beadlocks with CORR rings. same wheel that they race with. very strong and a little cheaper than WE or Robby Gordons.

For a little while, I ran Staun bead locks in 15x12 steel wheels with 44" TSL Boggers. I had terrible problems. They would run fine after the initial install as well as the 1st air down. (I would run 4-7 psi) The problem is that every time I aired back up, at least one tube would get pinched and pop. After 7 or 8 tubes in 2 months time, I sold them cheap and bought a set of Allied bead locks. An additional benefit of that actual bolt on bead locks was the strength of the outer wheel lip. The wheels that I was running the Stauns in got very bent up. With the Allieds, I had to replace a couple bolts, but the wheels held up.
