It's here, and ready to order. The GCM SwitchBack 1.9 Beadlock.

After a long run with these for prototypes, castings, machining, testing, and 4 rotor types, we landed a fully machined final product.

We have come up with a 3 position adjustable beadlock rim in a 1.9 inch rim size and ready to complete your scale build. Introducing SwitchBack wheels from GCM Racing.

>>> Product Introduction and Setup Video Link <<<

Shown here on our JK Brute (beaten and well loved)

The following picture shows the final assembly of the wheel mounted to the axle. It's a simple setup. Put the rotor on the hex and pin, add the wheel on the axle, line up the 5 screws and install, add your locknut or scale hub, and you are ready to go.

Please see our >>> Scale Truck Webstore Link <<< for pricing and details on ordering.

They also look great painted, like this ORANGE!!!

Drexcl · 02-22-2011, 05:31 PM

So its $38 for 2?

dubAron · 02-22-2011, 06:46 PM

Awesome wheels I may have to pick some up

Generis · 02-22-2011, 08:47 PM

price is per wheel, so you can get 5 if you want a spare. Each item contains the full wheel assembly including rotor and the hardware.
That orange looks great!

RickM · 04-03-2011, 08:26 PM

How wide is this wheel. Would it be a worthy comp wheel for 1.9?

Generis · 04-04-2011, 08:09 AM

This wheel is 1.0 inches inside the beads. Could be a great comp wheel thanks to setting your offset width.

Generis · 05-01-2011, 08:18 PM

Here's some of the stock ones (silver centers) on my JK Raven build. I have these set in the middle offset assembly and they fit the JK widefenders real nice.

2JSC · 05-01-2011, 09:22 PM

Those are really nice, and I like how the beadlock screws are countersunk into it. Very cool.

brianw · 05-13-2011, 06:22 AM

I'm guessing any 1.9 tire will fit? proline, rc4wd, etc...

Generis · 05-13-2011, 06:32 AM

That is correct.

mrtwister75 · 08-23-2011, 10:10 PM

I like the idea of the different offsets. Are there going to be other centers avaible, if so do you have a time as to when?
Thx

Generis · 08-24-2011, 04:10 PM

The other centers are a bit behind, since these ones work. There's plans for more, but won't be for a while. Designs range alot also, so we are likely to narrow down to something that looks like a current offroading rim and go with that. For now we have these Double8's.

great looking wheel

jeffs396 · 10-28-2012, 08:38 AM

Bumping this thread to see if these uber-cool wheels will be in production again some time in the future?

Thanks!

Generis · 10-28-2012, 11:57 AM

Thanks for the note! My Black Jeep JK got a wheel update, so these got put on my new Dingo Upgrades Build. Looks sweeeeet with the black and silver bodywork!

And no plans for more production! These are more expensive to manufacture than we can sell them for. It would be hitting $60 per wheel!
