Default HELP, tired of "searching"...."bead-lock" question?

HI THERE!!

I've been searching posts for days now, and have grown weary.
I just picked up a set of four "Axial Rock Lizard" tires off of eBay.
Now, I just need to know what brand of bead-lock rims to get?
They're going on my close to being finished "Clod-crawler".
Ideally, I'd like to find a set of relatively inexpensive bead-lock rims, that will fit the stock Clodbuster hexes. I'm SO CLOSE to finishing this thing, that I'm having a hard time parting with any more large sums of CASH! But I'd still like to have the bead-locks, so I can try a number of different tires (and not have to GLUE them to anything!)

THANKS SO MUCH!!

The biggest bang for the bug is most likely the beadlocks that are also made by Axial. However, because they have quite a bit of offset/backspacing your wheelbase is gonna be wiiide with clod axles. I assume you're doing a 2.2 build since you bough 2.2 size tires, correct? Another option albeit more expensive would be the MSD/Ericson beadlocks. I think MSD has a set specifically for clod axles that have less backspacing. They are worth the money. I sold my set and I've regretted it ever since. The other option is RC4WD beadlocks, which are really nice looking, but again, they're expensive, but are available specifically for clod axles.

Axial Beadlocks can be found here
MSDs are here
RC4WD can be found here

If you're looking for inexpensive beadlocks, Axials are the least expaensive out of the popular ones here. There is another one that is a little less expensive now being sold at The Crawler Store; 2.2 Murdock Beadlocks by Junfac. Although I have never tried those...
