Post Weld-in Beadlock Kit Recommendations

I'm looking for a set of 5, weld-in or weld-on beadlock kit for my 15x10 Cragar soft 8 rims. Anyone have any recommendations, have done it themselves or just have any feedback for me? I don't want spend another grand for 5 rims that are already beadlocks. I'd rather put that money towards my cage and other stuff.

when you do it...make sure your welds are air tight. a good way to test is to pour 10-40 or some kind of dark oil over the welds, and check inside the rim to see if it seeps through.

The rockstompers are the ones I've been looking at. Cool write up about them. Looks fairly easy too.
