I would rather suffer the consequences of a Conservative?s error, than suffer the consequences of a Socialist's intent.

Not a bad idea, but the price is way to high. It should be about $50/tire, considering you can get street legal custom made split rim bead locks for the same price Stazworks Granted these are steel wheels, and the air bladder would work with aluminum, keeping the weight down.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

Yea ... noticed that too, The caption for that pic says it's the valve stem from the tubeless tyre. It could be replaced w/ a regular one.

This pic shows the valve stem for the bead lock:

You can see that it's a ridged stem as well, but it's set much further back.

If the $220 is in Ozz money it would currently be $168 in U.S.$ each. Still about $120 more than they are worth IMO. Reseating a bead is really easy in most cases, definately easier than ponying up $700, that is alomost another complete set of tires(depending on brand/size etc.).
