Default weld on beadlocks

check these out

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ptd/2920974964.html

I really want a set of beadlocks because so many people say they straight up eat. it's not on the short list but I'd like some info on them
I have a couple concerns, street legal being on of them. theyre obviously not DOT approved
then how they would ride on the street for daily drives? I would get them professionally welded
also, would these go on any set of plain old soft 8 steelies?

these look professionally designed and if I get them professionally welded as well, I dont see why I would have any problems on the street with them
any thoughts?

I was thinking those low profile ones in box #11

legality of them is up for grabs really, it all depends on weather or not the cop knows what they are or not. if its going to be on a daily driver, then you have to check the bolts torque often. and any thing can look professional in an autocad/ solidworks program, it doesnt take a rocket scientist and rock rings are pretty simple

ask them if they come with a anti coning ring. i dont see any in the pics and its a must have or your rings will become deformed and air will leak

That's about 50 bucks more than most kits like that cost and I run 3psi now without them but I'm also running a bias tire.

Look good enough to me. I would also ask a about adding a conning ring also but have run wheels with out them successfully many times.
