Topic: rim screws

[Jase]

Has anyone used the rim screw idea that has poped up in some magazines lately (as opposed to $$ for beadlock wheels)?

From anything I have heard, rim screws are about as effective as rim cement. (glue on the bead to "hold" it on) I haven't used them personally but most say you get what you pay for and with rim screws, you get torn up tire beads.

More info on this please!! Any one have any pictures of this? I wish I could go beadlocks but that wont happen for a long time because I cant afford them...

The mag had a how to do this.  They used moroso (sp) drag slick screws and drilled holes in the rim and ran them into the bead of the tire.  The screws are 1/4 x 3/4 long stainless grade 8 if I recall.  I checked summit racing and they are about 12.00 for 16? screws.  I think the mag did double that (per wheel) for their setup.  It looks like it would work but I was concerned about tearing up the bead like mentioned above and balancing the wheel after the fact (getting a tire shop to do it).  Santa found the mag at walmart it should still be on the shelf.
