Drew's had some in stock earlier this year.
He has a banner ad running.

It might be cheeper to get the wide 5 dirt track wheels and just sell the ones you have now.
Did you have fun at D&K Rick? It was good to meet you guys.

You can usually find some of those rims on Ebay. Search 'aluminum beadlock'. There are a few different brands, but they all seem to be decent. They are made for late model dirt track cars. Racingjunk.com has them listed sometimes, also.
Also Weld wheels sells them new, but they are proud of 'em. :wink:

So what do you need for the Dirt Track wheels to mount up? What kind of adapters? I have VW 5 lug to chevy 5 lug adapters already.

Pretty sure "Instigator" can hook you up, he has a banner ad on here. I have heard $100 for a pair of dirt track wheel adapters?...
