reinforcement rings

[JW450R1]

has anyone tried to make and weild reinforcement rings to the inside and outer side edges of their wheels for strength?.

OMF Wheels makes these wheels. They are great wheels.

yes i have a set of omf wheel too.they are great wheels.
i have a older set of itp 2:3 wheels with no rings.i am trying to make them work.itp doesn't sell rings for there itp wheels.i can buy a set of omf/douglas rings,but they are not a tight fitt.my freind can get some aluminum flat stock and i was just thinking about just cutting them out with a plasma cutter and weilding them one.

JL racing sells them (James Lucky) They advertise right in dirt wheels last I knew, they're only something like $15.

i called to j&lucky.they were like 29.00 for the inner ring each,and 33.00 for the outer ring each.i think for that price i'll try to make em.the way i look at it my 2:3 itp wheels with no rings are kind a worthless any way.it's just fitting the ring to the wheel.

Holy crap the prices have gone up quite a bit since I've last read a dirt wheels. Yeah it would be cheaper to sell those wheels off and just buy a set of reinforced rims...unless you of course make your own rings.

Anyone know where i can get clamp rings for Burgard Beadlocks, ive treid REPEATEDLY to get in touch with them and left several messages with no call back! I think its pretty crappy that a site sponsor is this tough to get ahold of!:mad:

I forgot who but someone on this site made reinforcement rings on there 400 just like the baja wheels,they turned out very nice and it looked like a pro did it.
