I bought a full set of Douglas beadlocks and Razr MX's. I had my friend take them to the local tire shop to have them mounted and valve stems installed. When I got them back, this is what they looked like:

As you can see the beadlock itself isn't doing anything at all, more for looks than anything. I'm assuming that they installed these incorrectly (the tire shop deals primarily with automotive). I've never had beadlocks before or have really seen beadlocks up close and in person so I don't really know what they're supposed to look like. I just know that the way they are mounted right now the beadlock ring isn't doing anything. Has anyone had any issues mounting these before? If mine are in fact mounted incorrectly (which I'm sure they are), what advice do you guys have to tell the tire shop? I just hope they will fix their screw at no cost...
