Weld Racing Beadlocks

[stellerrc]

Has anyone been using the Weld beadlocks? And have you had any problems with the beadlock rings breaking or coming loose? I ask because a few customers of mine have had these problems with them,I have been running a set w/40 Series Pro Line Road Rage tires and have had no problems whatsoever.

Here's a Pic of Integy Beadlocks can't find one yet of the damaged Weld Racing beadlocks. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp115/stellerrc/DSC02297.jpg

steller, what kind of beadlocks rims are you using? reason I ask this, is because I have a set of pro-line commando 40 series rims and the beadlocks have weld stamped into the front of them. I have not had a problem with the ring itself, however I have had problems with the screws stripping in the rim which will cause the beadlock to not seat correctly.

Here is a link on the set of rims I am talking about:

They are a six pack job to mount up that's for sure!!

If I remember correctly it is 18 screws on each side. They are a PITB to work on. I am going to use super glue in the holes in an attempt to keep the ring tight.
