i have a set of 15 by 14 rims i think i got rid of my buggy back in may and after a few friends got done with it and i got it back the outer part of the rim was bent and i cannot get it straightened back out i was wondering what and how to make them into a set of beadlocks i think i seen it done before but dont have a clue so if you guys a photo or good way of telling me and what it would cost so i know if it would just be cheaper to look for a set or if its worth my time and money to convert thanks

i dont know if this would help, but here is some weld on bead locks. I use them and they work pretty good.

thanks for the link thats what ill go with where and how far do you cut the rim if thats what you even do thanks for any suggestions i really appriciate all your help

On some kits there is no cutting involved. Center the inner bead ring on the wheel and weld. The kit should come with instructions.

i have weld on kit that i got off steve, that dave made. U might want to run a bead of silicone around the weld to help prevent leaks if youre not going to run tubes...

All you do is place them on the inside of the bead lip, and weld them. There's no cutting involved. The outer ring is shaped so the bolts are further in than the outer most part of the tire bead. So nothing is sticking out.

thanks everyone

ok heres my next question i was looking at someones ultra bead locks they cut the outer lip of there rim am i going to have to do the same or the way my rim sits now is how i can weld them on or is there cutting involved

The 46 dollar ones are the ones we put on Jasons, They just welded to the outside bead. No cutting just some grinding.
