Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced 17" beadlock wheels? Thanks ------------- Bob S. '96 Cherokee, 4.0L w/Auto Trans & locked D44s '99 Dodge 2500 CTD Tow Rig |

My 15" steel beadlocks are Allied with 32 bolts. I think I bought them from Summit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfm0Z6VtBsU" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfm0Z6VtBsU 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. ------------- Bob S. '96 Cherokee, 4.0L w/Auto Trans & locked D44s '99 Dodge 2500 CTD Tow Rig |

That's weird. I don't see why they cost any more. ------------- 1998 TJ 4.0 5spd Atlas 36" Swampers RE4.5 ARB's 44/44 |
