Exactly.
Or if they had them Bead Locked by someone other than the original manufacturer.
Ask me how I know this one.

A 7/16-inch stud must be thoroughly engaged through the threads in the hex portion of the lug a minimum of 7/16-inch HMMMM Shake head If you use not shanked lugs nuts this isn't going to fly. Actually the wheel might. They might need to re-word this.

NHRA always leaves a loophole because they DON'T want to do the work necessary to enforce the rules. Easy out... mine were never certified

So if I read that right just because my wheels were SFI certified even though I didn’t need them by rules then I must keep them up to SFI standards.

Looks like a re-cert too? Funny how this takes place after some MFG’s not paying contingent money if the rim is over 3-4 years?? Isn’t that special....

Street racing was so much simplier. And the money was much better also.
I might have to go back to a door...err...street car...

I wonder what Weld will be charging for for this sticker? I'll have to ship my wheels to Weld and pay them to re-cert. It's complete BS.

I just found out from Weld that they will not re-cert your wheels. If you are missing your sticker, you will have to send them to Jerry Bickle for Re-cert and a new sticker.

Or....if the track doesn't let you race because of some stupid sticker I guess they didn't need my money. Its really getting out of hand with all the SFI and re-cert crap. All they are doing is pushing people away from the hobby. I myself have thought about quitting.

Weld doesn’t re-certify their wheels. You have to send them to Jerry Bickel race cars.It cost $125.00 per wheel for SFI 15.1 or 15.3

I guess I am gonna have to make sure my stickers stay in place just Incase. I didn’t buy my wheels cause I needed them certified only cause they are what I wanted by design.
