Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced 17" beadlock wheels?
Thanks

My 15" steel beadlocks are Allied with 32 bolts. I think I bought them from Summit.
Its a lot easier than the video above shows if you set the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket and use a chinese 1/4 air ratchet. You can adjust the air pressure to give different bolt torques.......60 psi is about 8 ft-lbs....... 90 psi is about 14 ft-lbs............. He should have also lubed up the wheel surface and beadlock rims so the tire centers when torqued down. I originally wanted Marsh Racing Wheels, but they were way expensive.

Brad,I checked out the Allied beadlocks and they are real proud of the 17" beadlocks. They are over $100 more per wheel than their 15" beadlocks.

That's weird. I don't see why they cost any more.
