Weight is a Racer's Worst Enemy and Are a Great Way to Put Your Race Car on A Diet
It doesn't matter what you race, weight is always a racer's top concern. Trying to find a way to reduce overall chassis weight and determine where to place the weight on the chassis is a constant struggle. From fluids to the battery, and even wiring, everything is considered for weight and location on a race car's frame.
If you race the track or dragstrip where your race car uses beadlock wheels you may have thought that the beadlock design and its high fastener count was unavoidable to ensure your tires stay mounted on the wheel's bead at low tire pressures and high tire loads. That is , but you find weight savings here as well by upgrading from the beadlock ring's to beadlock .
beadlock have equal, if not higher, tensile strength to the same size Grade 8 beadlock at anywhere from 40-50 percent in weight -depending upon size-. That up quick when you're talking roughly 20 beadlock per wheel on a single 15-inch beadlock wheel. If you run a larger diameter wheel or double beadlocks your weight savings will be even larger!
Our beadlock are designed with a six-point flange head for easy installation that provides greater clamping than a head with separate washer. The threads are heat treated and rolled for strength, but the use of an to prevent galling is highly encouraged. These are available in three sizes to cover the most common beadlock ring fastener needs, including , 5/16-18 x 1-inch, and .
