Beadlock rims are far superior to standard rims due to the
protection they offer the tires. The main benefit is that the tire is
"locked" to the rim by sandwiching the tire between an inner and outer
ring that are bolted together. This makes it almost impossible for the
tire to come off the rim which is commonplace with standard wheels.
Rocks, stumps, sticks and other off-road obstacles can separate the tire
from the rim when impacted and result in a flat tire. Beadlocks not
only secure the tire from the rim but offer protection from the rim/tire
lip by covering it with a thick steel ring. Rocks will simply bounce
off the beadlock ring leaving the tire protected.
Installing a set of beadlocks is not extremely difficult but will require about 4 hours and a welder. First, obtain a Do-it-Yourself beadlock kit from Fuse Powersports. This kit includes the lasered steel rings and installation hardware, the rest is up to you! These kits are only for steel wheels and you can choose from 10" rim or 12" rim kits.
Step 1 is to remove the tires from your rims. You can have this done at the dealer, local tire shop, or do it yourself with a bead breaker. Once the tire is removed, remove the paint from the inner lip of the rim using a sander or small grinder.
Next position the inner ring into the lip of the rim, make sure it is centered, and clamp into place. Now weld the ring to the rim every inch or so until it is welded all the way around. Be sure not to blow any holes through the rim, otherwise go back and weld these back up. Grind smooth.
Now paint the rim your color of choice. Powder coating works best but will cost quite a bit more. Once painted, put the tire back on the rim except with the outer lip of the tire over the ring. Now place the outer beadlock ring over the top of the tire and bolt through to the inner ring using the included hardware. The tire will now be sandwiched between the inner and outer ring. Tighten the bolts slowly in a criss-cross pattern.
Re-fill the tire with air until the backside of the tire seats against the rim. Check for leaks and tighten the bolts slightly around any leaks to seal them up. Repeat for the other 3 tires and you are done.
Beadlock kits all performance, value and style! You saved a ton of money doing it yourself and it will payback ten-fold over years of trouble free use. For more information please visit http://www.fuse-powersports.com.
