I saw this picture today and I am wondering who makes beadlocks that can be used on the front.... are the beadlock rings on both sides?

It looks cool but I doubt the front actually needs beadlocks. That looks like an OMF product. You might contact them. I think they do custom beadlocks in various anodized colors.

looks like a custom set up with a 10" front rim

Yea, I don't think the front needs the beadlock for functionality purpose... but, I think it would be a really cool look to tie the front end together with rear beadlocks..... i'll give OMF an email

That 350x was built by KASEY. It has 250r rear suspension and If I remember correctly, the front wheel was custom built by him. I do love how it looks though!

Dude..You & I must be related somehow...The Tri Z, L.E.D. fronts & flashing rear are things Ive . Now lol... just two days ago I was thinking certain beadlocks look pretty good, but not if the front doesnt match..so I was also looking & thought a rim might have to modified to add them...looks pretty slick though!

I'd like to see what & how he did it.

My initial goal is just to source 2 fronts & 4 rear wheels & have them powdercoated as close to the factory anodized gold as I can get..so that I have both dirt & sand sets.

Thanks for the previous reply on my questions too, Ill be following your stator/rectifier/ battery recomendations

That is very cool.... and "this old RZ" it just so happens that my "custom light shroud" might become available on a short production run if you end up liking what I come up with

Yeah, the beadlock wheel looks cool, but the puny little brake rotor doesn't.
