THank you...

Where the inner rings exactly 15", since its a 15" wheel

I haven't done any measuring yet, but should i just cut it to make it fit flush with the OD of the rim?

not flush, but the inner ring should fit inside the bead lip. Im not sure if that makes sense.

Okay, thank you that helps alot.....

we priced some metal for it. it will be roughtly.

>$150 minus the bolts...

I could order ones, just the rings for exactly 150 before shipping...

But if i make them i could also make other things out of the leftover 1/4" steel metal

Well 4rnr. They need to be balanced and they will be dismounted within the next few months to put the bead locks on anyways.

Your runnner wouldl look great with beadlocks on it. I like the look of them. If you do the project, do a thread on it. I would like to see how it comes out.
