Yea, run it, the beadlocks are just for looks. If you really must have the rims, look on e-bay, I see them on there for $20 a set all the time.

Snap off the rest of the beadlocks. It'll make your tire look bigger

I just broke off one of mine finally and I was thinking about trying to find some large washers to screw into the wheel to kinda look like beadlocks and protect the wheels. I need to find something really thin to add the least amount of weight possible but I'll see what I can find.

I've seen huge washers at home depot and my local hardware store. They were 2,3, and 4 inch sizes.

Every rim i got the beadlocks broke and you i just superglued the hell out if it but still make it look smooth and it will be fine use henkel brand locktite it works best on plastic for quick drying or use Great planes from your local hobbytown usa that will get the job done

Probably. That's what alot of people are using for home-made beadlocks.
