Wheel Question

They look like they're for valve stems. Why there would be five is beyond me.

It could be for brake cover!
Or brake warmers, keeps the brakes at a constaint temperature.
That my two cents.

Maybe a beadlock like some racing wheels ? Rim bolts to the tire? Maybe ???? or,,, I don't Know

That's funny you said that, ShotgunGrooms. I was thinking the same thing. However, all the beadlock rims that I have seen have the bolts 90 degrees to the ones in this picture. Plus, these are too far in - the valve stem is inside the bead. So, my conclusion is, I have no idea! -Steve

The old drag race style method of holding the tire from spinning with low air pressure was with screws .. but they were 90 degrees from whats in the pic. I think it was some style of bead lock ..

I was looking through the boxes of parts I received with the car and found a box of bead locks. I was under the same impression, all the bead locks I've ever seen were 90 degrees.

The rear wheels are 3 piece aluminum made by Gotti, 19 X 14, Tires are Good Year Racing treaded slicks, 27 X 14 X 19. I just need to figure out who can mount them.

I know I can tell you this.. If you have a rim that wide and put a tire on it.. YOU better make sure it is balanced...Watch the runout.. Balance is everything. Give us more.... were there tires on the 13 inch rims?

Tires

Does anyone in Houston know where I can get the tires mounted, I brought the tires to 2 places and they said they won't mount them because of the bead locks.

Thanks

I use Tire and Wheel Connection. 11330 West FM 1960. 281-890-8473

I tried the Wheel and Tire Connection, no luck too BIG!

Does anyone know where the best place to buy new bead locks, the ones I have look a little beat up.

Thanks
