Looking at getting a set of wheels here pretty soon for my 37in toyos im debating if i want to run beadlocks or not im ordering my prorock at the end of this month also i love the procomp 7005 but i love to air down and go off road and wouldnt want to have to worry about messing up my wheels everytime i do. Also where can you find center caps for walker evans raceline beadlocks etc..

Good deal man. Did you order direct from walker Evans? Are you running street locks or beadlocks? Have any pics?

Spyderlock is out of Business but the design has been purchased and changed slightly and sell under the ATX brand, model name Slab. I called walker Evans to purchase a set of beadlocks and was told the next boat from China is in route for delivery and should be 3 weeks. The whole idea that Walker Evans is 100% overseas including the tape and box used for packing turned me off on the idea. I called ATX and they actually machine and assemble all beadlock rims in the states. I bought five and love them.

I did not realize the Walker-Evans were chinese.... that's for that. (Shouldn't they be cheaper then?????) Time to start looking at the ATX's.

I liked the color combo for my rig so I never asked. The rings are aluminum so you could always have them anodized.
