Default Custom bead-lock Rings

Ok guys, I have a set of the Procomp 8179 wheels which have an option for cosmetic bead-lock rings. Since Procomp discontinued the only ring that they make for this model rim, I'm going to design my own...

i need inspiration for designs, so if everyone could post pics of their favorite bead-lock wheels it would be much appreciated!

How much? And you have five? 17"??

EDIT; just seen that yours are machined... I want the black ones. Do you have the rock rings for them?

Spyderlocks, ATX slabs, walker Evans, some to name. All pretty expensive, but well worth it!! I'm looking into the slabs; very nice wheels!

omf performance converts tons of wheels to beadlocks - they might even make some for the wheels you have. OMF Performance Products | Skid Plates, Beadlocks, Brackets, & Rims
