Rockstompers Beadlock Kit Welded Ring

After prepping the welding surface around the wheel rim with a sanding disc, we set the inner bead ring on the wheel. Determining proper placement is pretty simple since the new inner bead ring is exactly 15 inches and fits atop the wheel lip. Once we were happy with placement, we TIG-welded the inner ring in place. We started with crisscross stitch welds to avoid heat warpage and then filled in around the perimeter.
