Light weight 2.2 beadlocks for diff brands of tires

[NitroStar]

I want to purchase some light beadlocks, like axial 8 holes etc, that will accept my Losi Rock Rey's Creepy Crawler tires and then let me upgrade and mount Proline Hyrax tires later on. With all the hoopla over proline beads and different size 2.2 rings and such, what recommendations do yall recommend for this setup? I want my Rock Rey to be more stable with stiffer sidewall tires one day but have baked my creepy crawlers off due to getting sand in them from the beach and don't want to glue them again when some dual stage foams might work when I figure out which kind to try.

Axial 8 holes will fit pretty much any tire. I've mounted all kinds, including proline no problem. Solid rims, never gave me any issues.

Bear in mind they have a lot of offset and will make your rig wider.

If you have the funds, Gearhead RC EZ-Loc wheels are 1.5" wide - the Losi Maxxis Creepy Crawler tires are 2.25" wide, and can benefit from a wider than usual wheel.

They can be run with the included aluminum hubs mounted to either side of the wheel centers to change the offset.

You can get various wheel designs and some are either Delrin or aluminum or a mixture of the two:
