Im out of the hobby now, bought these over a year ago and dont recall who made them. The outside ring holds stainless balls inside the wheels for weight. Thanks! |

Those are the Comp Double Phatties. Standard Competition Double Phatty 2.2 Beadlock Wheels with Live Weights Competition Double Phatty $130.00 + $12.00 shipping within the USA Part Number ME-1004-Comp (Aluminum or Black Delrin) Rims available in Aluminum or Delrin The benefits of this design: Need only remove outside locking ring to adjust weight No need to remove the tire, saving time Adjust weight by adding or subtracting 9/16" ball bearings or stationary weights (stationary weights not provided) Just about any type of wheel weights (other than bearings) can be used Ball bearings will always stay at the bottom of the wheel to keep center of gravity at its lowest point Largest ball bearing 9/16" or smaller can be used The key to this design using any type of ball bearings is to KEEP them below center line of the wheel; if above center line it will not work as intended. If you are above center line the bearings have a tendency to flop over the top and lose the benefit of keeping the center of gravity at its lowest point. This design doesn't add a lot of weight, but what weight is there keeps the center of gravity at its most useful point (low in the wheel.
