Anyone ever dealt with them for getting your wheels beadlocked? Pros and cons?

They are local to me, been making motorcycle wheels for several years. Just got into drag wheels. I haven't used any but seen several. They look real nice.

Thank you. I recieved a card in the mail saying $695 for a single beadlock and $1195 for both sides those are prices for the pair of wheels. Just wanted to see if anyone used then yet

Why do a single? Are there some disadvantages to this? I would think holding one sidewall differently than the other would be a bad thing.

You might try Holeshot in Florida they are fair priced and look great.
They are $498 a set for singles and $998 for doubles last I looked.This message has been edited. Last edited by: HR3377,

RC wheels are everywhere in the small tire radial world and as far as I know, I haven’t heard of a single problem. I spoke with them at PRI last year...seem like great people. A set of there wheels will go on my car this year!! If I where to just do bead lock conversions, MacFab is my only choice!!!

WE had 3 sets done all 3 leaked had to be sent back. They did fix them, at our inconvience of taking them back. They also scratched them and discolored one set from the welding I assume. Would not recommend them.

I have black powdercoated wheels so im worried about how theyd end up also. Thanks for the info. Why would someone only want single sided beadlocks vs doubles? Cheapness or do some car simply not need it

Rymo, I had a set of black powder coated wheels done by Extreme Fab and it only slightly affected the coating behind the ring that you can't even see. Not sure what they charge now for their double beadlock conversion but back three years ago I found that most of the companies doing it were comparable in price. Good luck. I think it's the way to go when you already have the wheels. Kevin
