Default Alum. Beadlocks baja

I beat the crap out of my baja, and I am tired of replacing the plastic beadlocks(rear only). Are the alum. beadlocks worth it, if so which ones, there are some many to choose from.

I have the darksoul standard ones:

They've held up perfectly. They're beefy, light, and look great. They also make some OMF styled ones, which I actually like better in retrospect. There are many cheaper chinese alum. beadlocks out there, but if you're going for strength go with the good stuff. I paid $115 for a full 4 wheel set.

For a good set at a low price try Integy, B&T at daves discount motors there are more just shop around and they are well worth it they keeps the flex out of the rim.

I just put those on my Baja too for the same reason. Plus these seem to be the cheapest ones I could find.

Here are the lowest priced one's that I could find...but you only get the outter's not the inner's....a thought to keep in mind But I have 2 sets of alloy beadlocs already with the inner's so it did not make a difference to me. Here they are just a sneak peek of my re-build
