Steel Bead Lock Wheels
« on: Oct 10, 2005, 03:41:12 PM »
I am looking for a set of 15X8 steel bead lock wheels with a 2.5" backspace. I found a set at National Tire (Eatons), but they are 3.75" backspace. I want to try to stay from spacers if I can.  If you have a link or lead on where I can find such a wheel, please let me know. :thumbs:

Well my search is over. I found one place in NoCal that would make me a set of steelies for the low low price of $395 per wheel. :o

My solution, 4 Wheel Parts carries a steel wheel with a 2.5 backspace (approx. $50 per wheel) and I am going to install a set of bead lock from DIY 4X for $65 per wheel. :yupyup:  After shipping and costs for the bolts I am guessing I will be at approximately $135 per wheel, $540 total ($1,000 less than the NoCal quote!) :thumbs:
