Lately I've been having a problem with burping tires, loosing beads, as well as getting stuff stuck between the bead and the wheel. At gilmer I had problems all weekend, and ended up having to cut a night wheeling trip short because of it. So I guess its time I start looking at beadlocks. I figure I have three options, buy a DIY set of rings, get ready made beadlocks, or get hummer wheels and recenter them. Honestly, the ready made ones are to expensive for me. A set of weld on rings seems like a good, semi cheap way to go, but there is on problem. I have heavily offset wheels (2.5), so the centers are reversed, which makes it next to impossible to get a tire back on it once you beadlock it. So that means I'll need a different set of wheels, which adds to the cost (and I have to be careful with the backspacing to get a non-reversed center, yet be enough to clear the springs). Option 3 is the H1 wheels, which I like for many reasons. They're double beadlocked, pretty stout, and I think they would look sweet on the buggy. They're pretty cheap, but would require recentering (but I could choose the backspacing this way). USA6x6 has some good prices on pressed centers for these wheels. But then I would need new tires, so the price gets even higher.
So what does everyone think would be the best option? Or does someone have a better suggestion? I don't want to do the rim screws, and the last time I burped a tire, I had like 9 psi in it, so I don't think more pressure is really the answer either
