2 inch pvc pipe cut into 3/4 inch pieces. You might have to shave a little on the inside of the pipe cause it is a very snug fit. I pounded them onto the wheel using a hammer. Don't forget to drill holes into the sides of the pipe for air flow. These work great for beadlocks. I thought about using steel pipe for the added weight, another idea to consider.

I found an interesting thing out today with these stock wheels. If you plan to run RC4WD Outcroppers, they require no mods. The OC bead is wider, all it takes is removing the rings and old tires, mounting the new tires and bolting the rings back on. They hold plenty tight, I've cartwheeled the rig sideways down a hill a couple times now and not one lost bead, no spinning on the wheels either. I can't speak for the other RC4WD tires, but the OC's will be locked by the stock wheels and are great performers too.
