anyone know if you can buy just the beadlocks by them selfs and weld them on yourself?ive seen the reinfrocement rings for sell but ive never seen the beadlocks for a atv wheel.i know you can get them for race car wheels and weld them on on.

i think you might be able to, ye ive seen them for sale seperate to, but that might just be for people who ding the old ring or want a dif. color,,, if you do make sure you weld a reinforcing ring on the inside of the wheel...i know that can be done

I was thinking the same thing. So i looked into it ,to do it you have to nachine the outer lip to put on inner part of the two peice of the beadlock. The inner rings the part you weld to the rim. So its not easy, I though how I can do it cheap but I don't think is worth it.
Plus I don't think OMF sales just the beadlock to the public because of the salfty reasons.
They will sale the racing rings because the rings just simple weld on.
