How do they do at fifty mph. Are the wheels really out of balance?

i got some, easy install, you def know there there i wouldnt do it on a daily driver, no probs with balancing for the most part,, mine are ruffstuff specialties, he'll usually throw in the fifth ring, and he pays shipping. does running them backwards do anything iv seen it before, and how come--oh never mind--flourescent green????

It gives you a better bite when you run them backwards, but the wear quicker...

any problems because they don't have the rolled edge on the outer ring like a pre-made bead lock rim does. It seems like the outer ring could cut into the side wall with very low pressures.

do you mean the anti coning ring, they really dont dig into the tire, they-the sidewalls, kinda smash it flat inbetween the two rings, i torqued mine to 20lbs, minimal coning, a little but not to much and a little bit of coning isnt bad anyways, it ensures a tite seal..

Did you guys put your bead locks on 10" or 8" rims. I know they add some width
