Robby Gordon Race Beadlocks...anyone?

[Aramco Raptor]

Hey All,

Anyone running these? I'm contemplating them. No offset / backspace listed on the site so I have emailed them. True beadlocks 17 x 8 with 6 x 135 bp...$350 a piece.

Anyone running these yet?



And to be clear...before I have to put on my flame retardant clothing...I am NOT a fan of his...I think he acts like a bitch most of the time. His wheels however do look pretty good and seem reasonably priced...and I do like the race series that he created...but not him. LOL

Whats wrong with Robby? He has a lot of talent, might be an ass sometimes, but hes got more talent in his back pocket then I'll ever have. Rims are nice too!

I am not disputing his talent...just seems like every time I see him he's bitching and moaning about something or someone...not a fan of that.

I like Robby.

This wheels aren't too bad either.

One of the best drivers in the sport, self made, huge ambassador to the sport. He generally won't find fault in himself for losing, but the dude is a good guy all in all and he works really hard for what he has, he's a marketing genius too.

Advice on beadlocks. They're a PITA, I run a set, and I don't suggest them on a DD. Especially one in salty winter Canada. Robby Gordon makes a set of fake locks.

Price seems high when compared to a Method 105 that goes for around $250. Maybe the $350 is msrp. We used to sell RG wheels a long time ago when Ultra was making them for him. Ultra started their own motorsports division, started making wheels for walker evans and RG sourced his own mfgr in China from what I understand.

At one point in time he could barely keep enough spares for himself, but now that all the SST trucks run them, they have started producing them again.

I like that wheel and would have bought the fake lock, at the time it was only offered in +9 offset though.

Thanks for the input guys...I am getting a lot of the same responses about beadlocks for a daily driver directly from suppliers.

Guess I'll keep looking around.
