All of LURC's are Easy Mounts now, I think Patrick converted everything over when he changed the beadlock bolt pattern. For their wheels, you'll need to purchase the M2x7mm Zinc scale hardware and a bag of M2x1mm (85).

To install the scale hardware, you'll also need to purchase the 2mm Hex Socket driver.


When installing those M2x1mm faux screws, I highly suggest you take the extra time and rethread the threads with the supplied M2 nuts. It will make your life much easier and it will keep for the threads stripping out in the beadlock ring.

Don't waste your time with the 2x1mm faux screws. They SUCK. Just get multiple bags of the regular bead lock scale bolts. That's the whole point of the easy mount wheels.

Thank you for correcting me. I totally forgot that Patrick drills the holes for just normal sized screws.

Just do some easy math to calculate how many bags you need to buy of the M2x7mm scale hardware.

1 30 pack will take care of the main bead setting screws, then there is a set of 3 for every one mounting screw.

Why not contact Patrick ( locked up rc) thru is store or via a pm on here ? He is extremly helpful and does is very best to make the consumer happy. Tell him what wheels you want and he will tell you what and how much hardware to get.

They are so detail and customer driven, he even has a note on the top of the website to let all know he will be at an event untill 12/8... and orders will ship on the 9th....

Communication is number1 in customer service

"If you do not have a set of our Easy Mount wheels you can use 18 of our M2x1 "faux" screws to thread into the ring. You can also use any M2 hardware (scale hex bolt or cap head) of your choice and shorten the screws to be flush with the back of the ring once threaded into it. Either way will allow you to mount the ring to several different brands of wheels. The ring still mounts to the wheel with only 6 screws (don't cut these!), making your life much easier when working with foams and weights. "

Simple math for the scale hardware on the face of the wheel, 18+6=24 screws per wheel when using the LockedUp beadlock rings . So if you buy 4 wheels with 4 rings you'll need a grand total of 96 screws. (this was figured using the 1.9 wheel with Inspired rings) 18 of the screws will be for looks while the other 6 will actually mount the rings to the wheels.
