steel wheels

[CRaSHnBuRN]

Does anyone know where to find a cheap 17" steel wheel with 5+ inches of backspacing for a decent price? The narrower the better since I'm going to be adding weld on beadlocks. Summit has a few with 5 inches of backspacing, but I was hoping to find some with less than the 5.5" of the H2 wheels I'm running now.

they make weld on bead lock kits for the h2 wheels, that is always an option

These have to be tig'ed or can you MIG 'em?

its an option, but from what I've seen an expensive one. I think the cheapest I've seen was $200 a wheel just for the beadlocks, then I'd have to pay someone to weld them on. Plus I've heard they can be difficult to weld to and crack easily afterwards. Granted that could false, but overall it should be alot cheaper and easier to just get the steel wheels.



Also, I'm planning to sell my H2s with my Iroks as a set. They're allready mounted and balanced, so its simpler that way

then why get 17 to replace them, why not go with h1 rims?

Most wheels from 4wp, in my experience, come with a 4.5" bs.

After seeing that they will be releasing a 40" ltb, I may go that route. The problem is that it doens't look like they are being made in a 16.5" rim size.

W/ the staun and all the other weld on beadlocks coming out, the H1 has some serious competition now.

you'll never find a better deal on a double beadlock, its not possible.

Quoted for future reference...

I didn't say they were anybetter, just that there was competition. To some people, money isn't a concern and don't have to "cheap" out on the H1's. However, I believe the H1's are by far the best setup for my configuration.
