Not you?

They're good value, use Incision hubs for a lot of width options, look pretty good and include a accurate-looking center hub. I think it's a pretty good alternative.

Not me, obviously. And I'd say not most people. With as cheap as you can get quality, aluminum beadlock wheels these days I think the desire for plastic wheels is way down. I think.

There's still the rare post on here looking for plastic beadlocks, but usually it's aluminum.

There must be a market or Crawler Innovations, Pit Bull, and Vanquish (arguably three leaders in their field of expertise) wouldn't be offering them, no?

I think it's a great thing for them to offer, plastic wheels. As for the shocks, it just makes sense to go along with everything else they offer. Sure they are a bit more expensive than GMade RSDs, but VP product has always commanded a little higher price due to the exceptional quality and service.

You don't get the SLW hubs, but there are still a lot of people not stuck on SLW ecosphere.

And yet another option is GMade that offers good looking, all-plastic internal beadlock wheels.

So yeah, there's tons of plastic wheel options out there.

Unless something has changed, I don't think Crawler Innovations offers plastic beadlock wheels. They offer plastic glue ons. Plastic glue on wheels make perfect sense for the guys trying to save every ounce.

People can gladly pay $50 for four plastic, Incision beadlock wheels if they want to save a tiny bit of weight and not have to worry about gluing. The guys that want scale looks and durability would be much better off going on eBay and buying all aluminum wheels for the same price.

Heck, even the Axial 8-Hole beadlock wheels come with metal beadlock rings, like the Incision wheels, and they cost roughly $15 less per set of 4. You don't get the SLW hubs, but there are still a lot of people not stuck on SLW ecosphere.

This is the way I see it.

Plastic glue ons to save weight.

eBay, all aluminum wheels if you want durability, good looks, and beadlocks. Or one of the high end, expensive wheels if you are willing to spend the dough for the quality and the looks.

Then there's these Incision wheels somewhere in between glue ons and plastic beadlocks. I still don't understand the need for them, but that's why I asked the question to open the discussion like this. "thumbsup"


I don't think there are many people that will argue GMade shocks are some of the best bang for your buck that you'll find at any price point. They just work.

VP used the "Made in the USA" as one reason to justify their pricing. But if these shocks aren't made in American then why are they much more expensive than GMade?

I just want to know the shock body OD of the Incision shocks. If they are narrower than 12mm and they work well I'm game to try them.

All VP products are made in America, I think that CNCs running in Harley’s livestreams justify that pretty well, and these new products will be no exception.
