Ever since I've had this new rail that I bought I've fought and fought with blowing outside bead on the passenger side rear, JUST THE PASSENGER side I might add!! I'm wanting a set of steel, or aluminum 15x12's preferably with bead lock but might consider a set without. Currently running a set of old steel 15x12's but come to find out they were UN-professionally widened and ultimately less headache to just get a good set... I would also consider wheel/tire combo if price is right. Will take vw 4 lug or the Wide 5 circle track pattern (5x10.25) Would POSSIBLY look into a set of narrower wheels (like 15x10) with a set of 31" Boggers. All I've ever ran is V treads but the more I read and talk to people, they're making me a firm believer in cut boggers. Would prefer to find wheels here fairly local but willing to drive a little if it's what I'm looking for. I'm in Glasgow, Ky (bout 25 miles east of Bowling Green), gimme a shout 270-670-5327

Nothing personal to the bogger guys but have you ever ran a set of cut Firestones with about 3-5 psi? Me and a friend had identical buggys with the same size motor but he was running stones and i was running McCrearys,both cut and it was night and day in the difference in traction.Boggers look mean but ive never ran them.

Well I got a set of beadlocks for the rear FINALLY!!!lol Not sure of his user name but it was a fellow board member on here that had them, he called me I think the first day I posted that I was looking for a set, can't beat that 8) I ended up with a set of 15x12 steel beadlocks for $125 so can't really complain, I didn't waste any time gettin em on and now I realize part of the problem I had been having with the wheels I've been running. I broke the old wheels and tires down and they had been on the buggy since I bought it and I was under the impression that they were 12" wide wheels...Turns out they were 14" wide, I know now why I had so much trouble with sealing the bead and blowing bead all the time everytime I dropped tire pressure where it needed to be. NOW I'm just lookin maybe for a set of tires...Let me know what you've got
