Default ATX slab beadlocks??

Anyone that is or knows of someone running these on a daily driver have any problems with balancing? Or anything for that matter? I do know the bolts on ring will have to be checked periodically.

running them on our white JK and will be running them on our new dozer as soon as it's done. we run toyo's on our white jk and we just installed them and ran them without balancing them. grated, they are toyo's and they are really really round. with a different tire, you will want to get them balanced and, you shouldn't have any problems.

No there is no 18s for the slab. Think it's just 15 or 17s if my memory serves me correct.

From my understanding, modern day beadlocks are pretty straight forward well designed wheels and many are run on DD's. It's recommended to check torque on the ring bolts from time to time. I started to check mine monthly as recommended by factory and found none to be out of spec. for the first 14 months but I don't wheel very hard, mostly mud. Now I just do it every couple of months or 2000-3000 miles.

Spyderlocks and slabs are the same wheel, just different rings. I know spyderlock makes more than just 15" and 17". Not sure about 18" though, check their site. I love mine. They are on my DD and I noticed a weight difference from the stock wheels, but everything else is great. Had to get mine balanced though cause the GY kevlars are notoriously poorly balanced...

I called spyderlock to get 20" wheels like WOL had and the short answer is no more 20", they didnt sell enough to justify the mold so they remolded for 18" and will be mass producing those soon if not already
