Billet Works' 2.2 Mod-Locks...finally

[billet works]

As seen in my LCC thread and on the BW Facebook page Billet Works Designs | Facebook

These have been on the books since the inception of my U-Locks a few years ago. Finally I'm moving forward on them.

Oversized OD 2 piece delrin wheels
Adjustable width (comes in 4 different width options, width is adjusted by use of spacers between the wheel halves and screw lengths to match, bolts connecting wheel halves thread directly into the back wheel half, 5 stainless bolts hold each 2 piece wheel together)
Adjustable offset (wheel faces can be mounted in or out and uses VP hubs)
OD Ring is slotted for the addition of lead weights as needed.
One design currently available, more coming
Very beefy but still only 3 ounces complete with rings and hardware
Extremely easy to mount
Typical extreme bead holding power

Several designs and types will be trickling out.

OD ring design can be seen on the split 6 spoke design pictured below.

This design is currently available in my store at www.billet-works-store.com

Anyway, on to the pics

Don i know you will get back to me shortly via email. What foams are you using with the wheels you running? How did you find the OD rings with the foam combo you are using?

 

[RickM]

Good looking Don-Keep it up.

I just trashed my favorite set of wheels ever........these were easily my first choice of a new set ........thanks Don

 

[OKJeepin]

[Stormin2u]

[squish72]

Anyone else running these? Trying to decide these or the dlux style

 

[Oz Bruiser]

Yea, just waiting on SLW hubs to arrive in the mail. I might have these mounted to my new AX Low Pro Wedge tonight.

These look pretty interesting, and raise a bunch of questions in my head...

1. What's the technical difference(s) between "mod-lock" and regular beadlock?

2. It seems like the rim diameter inside the tires is larger on these wheels than on regular beadlock wheels.
- Am I right?
- How does it work with regular foams, made for smaller diameter rims?

3. How is tire ventilation taken care of? Regular small holes, or are there just gaps between the components?

4. Hub mounting.
- Are screws for mounting the hubs provided?
- What's the hub offset?
- How deep does the hub go into the mounting plate? (Distance that can't be used for knuckle weights.)

Hey mate i can have a go at answering some of your questions but Don may need to more accuratly answer some of them for you.

1. As for a technical differance, Don would be more likely be able to answer this as he named and designed them.

2. The external diameter of the wheel is larger than a standard beadlock wheel. They have weight ring that you can add weights to the wheels as desired if you require them.

As they are a larger diameter they are a tighter fit for regular or CI foams but they do fit if you take the time. However the increased diameter can assist in side hilling assit is a larger diametr.

3. There is a gap between the two halves of the wheels. The gap varies depending on the size spacer used. So the tyres/foams vent through these gaps.

4. Hubs mount throuh the use of VP SLW hubs. As the wheel face is thicker than some of the VP wheels longer screws may be required than the standard VP screws.

Screws do not come with the wheels.

The hub offset varies depending on what hub you use from VP.

Depending on what size hub will dictate what knuckle weights you can use.

I use knuckle weights with 600 slw hubs on my BWD XR Wedge.

Hope this is useful until Don gets back to you himself,
