Beadlock or knurled bead rims for a stock or mildly tuned street car?

I used them once long ago, but didn't like the whole idea. Never saw any particular damage from them, but did not see any particular benefit other than reduction in slip but that never bothered me that much. I call it personal preference. If it makes you feel better, you see clear faster times with your style of launch, or it stops vibration / balance issues for you, have at it.

Brother,

Some of the members here have serious power and are pushing 4,000 + pounds down the strip with street car parts. The race shops will not say it because it is business gotta make money, however, I do not have that constraint, so I am saying the obvious and have the time slips to back it up.

In summary, forget about beadlocks, send it and have fun.

I suggest running 15 inch tires because they are much cheaper and perform better than 17 or 18 inch tires. This requires a brake conversion, every time you buy tires there is a savings of $ 200 plus dollars. Brake conversion is around $ 1,000 in parts.

Please don't waste money or listen to people with an agenda. I have used Bogarts on my hellcat, the tires move every pass, however, I have gone rick bobby quick, so how much did it cost me?

I run a MT radial pro which is a 315, it will stick out and require spacers. It hooks like glue, that is why I want some slip in the wheel, going race car quick with street car parts requires some messaging, IRS and center section is less than ideal in drag racing, way less.
