Weld is 6-10 weeks out before being delivered. Any recommendations on another quality product? No trash that cracks needed.
10 weeks is a long time.

Lindsay, Sanders, Richardson Boys, Billet Specialties.. Just to name a few, but plenty out there. Just stay away from Spinwerks...

Another option is sending your wheels to some of the above mentioned companies or others like Dewzen, Macfab and maybe Extreme Fab to have them converted to beadlocks.

You can also check Facebook Marketplace, or like some of the other groups on facebook and find a really nice used set..

Dirt Dobber and I got our wheels back from Exstreme Fab and so far I'm very pleased. The workmanship looks great, they got them turned around pretty dang quickly and I got the tires mounted yesterday. All went well. Bruce Blair is the guy to talk to and he did exactly what he said he would. 203-909-6732

Good luck!

Neil and Parks does the conversion as well and I was very happy with the turn around and the quality.
With the crazy cost of new beadlock wheels today, I might be tempted to take a nice set of regulars and have them converted. I may do that when I go to 16"

I have 17 wide Beadlocks at this time. The conversion is of the table. I want new also.
I can have Billet Specialties in two weeks. I can wait two weeks , just not 10. I would like to support the little guy instead of Jegs. If anyone knows someone, Great.

Spinworks are ok if u replace the centers with a Weld center. They just need to be turned down a small amount to fit correctly.

If you want them QuarterMax aka Rick Jones Race cars has them in both black and polished, ask for Adam.

Thanks guys for the help, New rims have been ordered. The conversion is out of the question. I am going down in width from 17' to 16" , plus the need to be SFI 15.1 or 15.2

Thanks guys. Appreciate the insight.
