Its BEADlock. And Hipers rule. I got a full set and love em. I had Champion beadlocks and they're cheesy lookin compared to the Hipers. The only other beadlocks that I'd recomend are the Douglas Ultimates\Shamrocks.

I got OMF's scalloped beadlocks and they are very nice

I wouldn't get 8" wheels unless your planning on running 18" tires - go with 9" or 10" they look better and there is a bigger selection of tires available for them

if you do go with hypers be sure to make sure you arent stuck with the 9 inch models from recently, they have a recall on the because the rear hubs cracked.

i have hipers on my 450 and i like them a lot..those omf ones look sweet too..

Hipers kick ass!! I've got 10" fronts and 8" rears. I don't think you'll have any problem finding tires for 8" rears. The smaller 8" rim will let you play with the sidewall flex a little bit more because of the bigger side wall. I personally like the look of the 8" rear beadlocks, but I don't think I've ever seen 10" rears in person before.

The OMF scallops and Shamrocks are pretty damn good lookin' too. But I wouldn't like polishing them to make 'em shine.

Just wondering, off hand where is a good site to buy some beadlocks?

 

I've tried searching a bit, but came up empty handed....

[odaen]

there are a couple ebay stores that sell them pretty decently priced. like 349 for fronts and 379 for rears.

I bought the OMF beadlocks from Magic Racing ($179 each - $149 for the 8") )but i don't think they sell Hypers

That was last year's 9" model, and they had an unconditional replacement for the billit center section - no questions asked cracked or not...

 

 

I ran 9x9's dual bead lock on the rear and 10x5 single bead lock on the front - Hipers and they were awesome, never gave me any issues.

I have itp beadlocks and they do the trick but aren't as pimp as the hipers

[crbanshee]

there is a problem with hipers though....they dont bent the shatter...you can get back to camp or home on a bent rim...but i have seen the hiper shatter and all the sudden your shee is a 3 wheeler
