Alright, it's time for beadlocks! I'm contemplating between the Walker Evans and the Spyderlocks. Those with these wheels please chime in. Why did you pick your specific wheels? Do you like them? I'll be running my Pitbull 38.5" Mad Dogs on them till I get my 39.5" Rockers.

Thanks man! I think the spyderlocks are out of contention. With the wheeling I do they'll fill and pack with mud and dirt, and I'll never get them clean or be able to get to the lug nuts If needed. Now thinking about the Allied's Rock-A-Thons. Just need to find a Canadian Vendor.

Why not go with Stauns. It will be cheaper then buying new rims.

Because stauns do not work with my rims. The extra hole needed for the internal valve stem would sit on a bend

You can't put the valve stem on the back side of the rim. I saw some for sale somewhere and the rims had Stauns and the valve stem was on the back side. I don't know if that would or not, just a thought????
