The person who mounted your tires is retarded. And the wheels are built for dirt race cars. Not legit as a wheeler/daily driver.

There mounted incorrectly. And not safe for the street or wheeling if mounted as a beadlock. While researching the wheel I never saw a dot approved.
Umm then what is this? http://www.bassettwheel.com/4x4_offroad.html

Something you should know...... I've been around the tire and wheel business since I was 4 years old.
I know dot stamps.
Them wheels are off highway only.

Wow..... Your a smart cookie.... There not dot approved due to the fact that they do not pass federal safety standards and tests.
At a circle track the conditions are controlled where If there is a failure the cars have higher safety standards and not full of little children on there way to school.

Think about stuff before you post it.

You can't expect to come into a forum talking nonsense and not get flamed for it. You know why other people are not responding? Because I'm right.

Not every part of a vehicle has to be dot approved to be run on the street. I have run beadlocks on pavement for a few years now. The companies say for offroad use only to cover their asses. I have yet to find a law saying wheels must me dot approved to be run on public roads. Some states may have adapted to laws against beadlocks, but i have yet to see that, nor do i care.

When one of the wheels fails and you kill yourself or someone else because you flip it then you can ask why we are concerned. Your not the only person on the road. Life can literally depend on this....
