Found a pretty good deal on a set of 35mtrs with walker bead locks. Other than the legal implication (I've heard bead locks are illegal in cali) does anyone have opinions about running bead locks on a daily driver?

 

We run Walker Evans on our '09. No issues on the street and we love them on the trail.

 

Pretty sure I read on here that they're not really illegal. If you're getting a deal, go for it!

 

I have run mine for a year. No issues, do it

 

I'm running ATX slabs .... No issues

 

Same here!!

 

How did your wheel and tire combo balance. Did it take a lot of weight

 

I have a set of Walker Evans. The only recomendation I would make is to recheck the bead ring torque after driving it for a few days to get a feel for how they stay tight. Mine do work loose after time. To answer the above question, I use balancing beads and it made a huge difference.

 

I've been running the AEV beadlocks for almost 6 months with no issues. I mounted and balanced more set-up using Dynabeads and I haven't had any issues, made everything real easy!

 

I'm running Raceline monsters and have had no issues with them. Even mounted the tires myself and they didn't put up much of a fight. I retorque the ring when I rotate the tires, every oil change.
