Post by balzackracing »

I have just recived my wheels (after what seemed like months of waiting) from fourbys in brisbane. And I would like to say Im really wrapped with the end product, and would like to pass on my thanks to all the guys at fourbys. they excellent to deal with, and the price was great too. just how good??? well they made me 5 off 15x10 steel beadlock rims made to suit my custom offset of 1 5/8" back space with 10mm plate 6 spoke centers and round bar welded in to the inside bead, power coated and deliverd for less than $480 a wheel. which if you look around is a good price. and they look WICKED......once again my thanx to fourbys.

P.S. how was the trip ryano

You need the address of the photo to be between those two img commands.
If you use photobucket, they'll give you the command to just cut and paste. Photobucket have 3 commands to use, use the last one, the img command, and then just paste it exactly as it is, into your message whereever you want the photo to appear.

G'Luck with it.

Now if I could just solve the problem of some people posting photos that can be seen by other viewers but don't work for me. But that's for another day.

WTH?
Why on earth would they be illegal on the road?
Something that prevents your tyre peeling off is illegal?
Geez this country is becoming a JOKE

Was at a fundraiser run by the Canberra Rally club once, where they'd take you for a 5Km run through the forest for a $15 donation to the Southcare helicopter. Thousands turned up for it.
They had a WRX there for sale with better than standard suspension, better than standard brakes, better than standard seating, better than standard seatbelts, there wouldn't be a SAFER vehicle anywhere and yet it was un-registerable for use on road. Go Flamin figure.
Grrrrrr. I was in a good mood until I just read that it was illegal to have beadlocks. Now I'm shaking my head in disbelief.
Bet second air types aren't illegal, or if they are, so damned hard to detect by your average cop as to be incredibly unlikely to get busted for it.

:rofl: You got so mad you posted twice.

They're illegal because they're a modification to the wheel.

I think technically Second airs are aswell because you have to drill a hole in the rim. They are not as easily seen as mechanical beadlocks though.

Actually, I was thinking just the opposite, I was thinking of some form of black ring like a hubcap that sits over the beadlocks and makes them much harder to see, and all but invisible while in motion. What doesn't stand out like the proverbials on a bull, is less likely to get the unwanted attention of the Plod with nothing better to do.

And as for the double post, it's one of the first ones I've ever used "preview" on, so maybe I did something wrong with the preview and ended up with 2 copies. Either way, my apologies.

yeah, it because D.O.T say's you cant circumfrence weld wheels. so yeah if you got a set say from the state's that came beadlocked from the manafacturer and the complied with australian standards then theres no real stated rule that you can't use external beadlocks. if im wrong please correct me cause that just my understanding. rockcrawler wheels make a beadlock look alike wheel and so do micky tompson.

Yeah, but who can afford to be hit with a defect notice?
Though I was just looking at some wheels in the 4WD Monthly, that are specifically designed to take a "retaining ring" which is also available for them. In which case the wheel would not have been modified, but designed from scratch to take the ring, so un-defectable one would hope.
