    Agreed, but are those real beadlocks? Because if so someone might be gettin' some new wheels

    If you know a good welder just buy a weld on beadlock kit and add them to the rims you have now! THESE ones are sweet but there are a lot that are cheaper (like these or these ).

    Yeah I did another CV Boot replacement today and double checked the stock rims and actually measured the hubs themselves. Stock rims are almost perfectly 100mm, looks to me between 99 and 100mm, and the hubs are somewhere between 96-97mm. So yeah 100mm is perfect and plenty of room

    I wonder if it's because you have the 2001 with the 18" wheels. I wonder if they changed from the 16" wheels that came stock on mine and changed the hubs as well. I know the center caps are different, but I would have thought someone would notice a bore difference at some point. It's driving me nuts because I can't check mine for a week and a half.

    Um, Billy, I don't think 20" wheels and beadlocks go hand in hand. I will do it however after I SAS and can put some 36"-37" tires on 'em. Right now If I tried to air down to any great extent I'm rolling on train wheels. Although from what the alignment guys told me, they couldn't align my VX with the current wheels on it because the machine they use has to grab around between the bead and the edge of the rim, and they couldn't get it to fit(because of super tight sidewalls) after two hours. So they had to align my VX with the stock wheels and rims and then compensate for the different wheels.

Or the Cruiser 926C http://www.rimfinancing.com/BRANDS/C...20926C-028.jpg that LDub and George like. I also like the American Racing RT-S that Tom likes http://www.tiretrends.com/include/get_image.php?id=4793 Those are my top three now and will make a decision shortly any more input greatly appreciated on these 3 options. Thanks.
