I have the Axial 8 hole beadlocks on my TNX, and they are holding up real well. Just make sure you follow the instructions and tighten the screws in the specified pattern and you will have no problems.

i just liked the way they looked,no real reason why I choose that combo. More than half the time Im bashing at the local parking lot so tats why i choose those tires. Im gonna use the stock set-up when I get her dirty at the local dirt field

I was just wondering why you want bead locks for road tires? Not being a **** but was just wondering.

Yeah thats a good reason lol. I know I get a few things for looks also. I was just wondering cause most of the time people dont need bead lock wheels unless they are rock crawling or something like that.

wow I didnt know that, I would have thought the opposite, I think you just changed my mind about not using them on dirt, I might just have to get me some new tires...lol!!!

I had them on one of my MGT's and they looked great and worked well and no glue to mess with but they were very very heavy.I went to a lighter setup and like it much better.

Hey ahfu .... if you have your mind set on em then get em man. I was just thinkin for bashing at skate park or something I would want the lighter weight wheels myself. Its all opinion. You want the looks that they offer over regular rims then go for it lol. Bead locks are nice about not haveing to use glue. Glue is never a huge deal to me anyways. I go around the whole rim on both sides with shoe goo. It peels off easy (when you want to) and if you go around the whole rim on boths sides it lasts for just about as long as regular glue. I know I have had a few come unglued on me before. If you use shoe goo just make sure the rims and tire are cleaned very good before putting on the goo and it works well.
