only time i seen this. so i jumped on it seen the add in dirt wheels. mention code DW217 the sale is only on there higher end options. i put in an order for super lite with drain beadlocks.i chose these color options. inner billet centre and bead lock ring candy red wheel hub gloss black. black hardware. had my eye on these for some time but they were always to pricey for me
-

What did you end up spending? I was going to go carbon...but maybe not
-
do you know the weight comparisons?
-
well omf is pricey. so the powder increases the price so did the milled cleanouts. and of course shipping. even with the promo it still cost $ 989.00 plus shipping. there claim is a lighter weight but i'm not into all the saving weight thing. hell i only weigh 159 lbs. my reason for purchase was purley driven for looks. beed locks are designed so you can acheive better traction with lower air pressure reducing the possability of a tire rolling off the rim. i have 3 450's ltr kfx yfz and a 4 mill banshee all with engine mods. i ride trail rear tire pressure i run 6 lbs. front 7-8 lbs. lower pressure more traction. on all 4 of my bikes i am running A-5 rims. i have been running this set up for years with no issues. so buying the beadlocks for lower tire pressure was not a driving factor for me.
these wheels are another peice to the puzzle of an 87 build that i started 5 years ago. as i continue to pile up the parts that are either new rebuilt or custom i keep them all wraped and boxed for the day i can start the assembley of this build. with all of my engine componets ready for assembly and pwder coated i still need to send it out to a builded its the esr 370 pv stroker kit.
