RE: proline beadloc
I have a set of them for bashing. They work good, I haven't had a pull-out yet, but I will say the screws are not very good. The allen wrenches don't fit well and they strip easy. I have a couple of each of my wheels that are stripped, but they don't affect the hold on the tire since there are so many per wheel. Being so many screws compared to maximizers, its kind of a pain to change tires, takes a while to take out all the screws.

ok thank you do you have the 1/2inch offset (or the normal 40 series)
would you recommend me using threadlock on the screws if i get them?
check my tyres thread (a couple down) tell me what you think of the masher tyres
what tyres do you run?

RE: proline beadloc
I have the normal Off-set on mine. I personally would not recommend using thread locker, as the screws go into plastic anyway and I haven't had one back off yet. Also, with the heads being easily stripped, you could wind up not being able to get the screws out. I like the mashers tires, they stand up pretty good. I use Pro-line Dirt Hawgs. They work great for just about everything. They even work half decent in the parking lot.

RE: proline beadloc
I have the same setup as outkazt. I have had some of the screws strip as well. The bead has come out only once. I like the tires and wheels though. Adds a lot of weight. Here is a pic.
