The idea of beadlocks are great but like what was stated before they suck for all the screws. I have Maximizer beadlocks and love them but simply for the fact that if I tear one tire I can just unscrew it and replace it versus trying to rip the tire off, clean up all the left over CA and rubber then reglueing a new tire. I have a few sets of beadlocks that I keep the same tires on. They are probably about a 1/3 heavier because of the inner rings, but for bashing who really cares. I'll be trying a set of the Proline beadlocks to see how they work but they will only ever be used for bashing, racing I will always stick with standard wheels.

The only complaint I have is the fact that with the Maximizers if you use proline or Imex tires you need to buy a set of rage rings seperate otherwise the stock rings that the beadlocks come with won't hold those tires because of the smaller beads.
