Title: 6x6.5 beadlock wheels
Post by: GunSlinginJoe13 on February 09, 2014, 10:26:43 pm
Does anyone know where I can get 6x6.5 beadlock wheels?  Qrc only offer 6x6 then the next size is 6x7.5.

Van-k might make some that size. If you don't see them on their site, call them and they can make anything you want.

Qrc beadlocks are a perfect match to van-k. So they might modify a van-k.  I sent them a email but its the weekend so tomorrow they might respond back

Those look really nice!  8) Personally i would want some more material around the mounting holes on the rear wheels though.

They machine the center of the wheel out and replace it with the red billet insert your seeing, much stronger than the original wheel center.  It’s something they do for the AVT racers because they believe the weakest part of the wheel is the center. If you could see it up close you would like it I’m sure, not a very detailed pic.

Found a little better pic of the 8x8 showing the billet center.
