Mac fab bead lock conversion
« on: April 11, 2017, 06:36:12 PM »
Ok, so its not FE specific but there certainly going on a FE powered car.
I wanna give a shout out to these guys for the super quick service and quality work.
I had to go to Carolina to replace my aunts well pump, this place is like an hour away from her house. I called and set it up so i could drop them off at 10am that morning. I went to a small country diner down the street and had a late breakfast and some coffee. Went to a old country hardware store to get some map gas and a few copper fittings and before i ever got out of the store they gave me a call telling me my wheels were done. It wasnt even noon yet and saved me the trouble of goi g to my aunts and comming back later.
Nice guys and gal. I was very pleased with the whole thing.

Looks good, did you have both sides of the wheels beadloacked? How much weight did the beadlocks add? Cost? Look like Centerline "Pro Stock" model wheels.

Yes, Dbl bead lock. Not sure on the weight but i didn't opt for the titanium hardware so i exspect it added a couple  pounds per wheel. Cost depends on what style beadlock ring you choose.  Im cheap so i went for the basic but did pop for the anodized black front side rings. Yes, there the old centerline pro stock wheels.  Had themfor a while now.
