| Low cost aluminum 1.9's
Just wanted to share this find for those looking for a nice, low cost 1.9 aluminum beadlock. I got these off ebay. I bought a set of 4 for $45 shipped, and then a single one for the spare tire for $13.50 shipped. The wheel alone is 7/8" wide. I just couldn't get myself to spend $150 + for a set of wheels knowing that they are going to get destroyed. |

They are pretty small. Do you think they're not strong enough?

I don't have them mounted yet. I'm still gathering parts for a new build. Think i'm gonna go with P-L tsl's on these. I will post up when everything is up and running.

I have PB Rock beasts mounted on these as a spare set with different wheel weights for my comp rig. The few times I have used them there has been no issues. Two of the small screws have stripped the hex in the head, so if you planned on mounting and remounting multiple times, invest is some better quality screws. Cheers H2Micr0 |

Ok, here's a trep mounted up. The contact patch is nice and square. These tires are 1.5" wide. I wonder if I went with 1.75" wide tires, if it would crown? |

I am now in the middle of mounting up some of the new Proline XL TSL Swampers on these rings. A bit fiddly but going on nicely. Cheers H2Micr0 |

After I got them mounted, and stripped one thread (inside edge thankfully - bit of threadlock will hopefully hold it in place), I spent about 30mins crawling on my pile of rocks. Was able to do a climb I couldn't with the Pit Bulls on several times, and really put it in some awkward positions. No pulled beads etc. Quite happy. Cheers H2Micr0 |
