the 16" rings.
could probabally deliver within the 275 loop
during the day
if you are not in a hurry..

So you only use 2 rings and no spacer center rings?

You just need to pick up some 1/8"x 1/2" stock to bend and tack weld your own anti-coning ring in there. It is easy. Bend it around as you are tack welding it, and cut it to length when you get it wrapped all the way around and finish the deal.

Sounds a lot harder then just making 12 rings. LOL
I would very much like to see it done the way you said. The one thing I didn't like about my last set was that the anti-coning rings were to thin.

I dont run them
i feel the more the ring cones the less the steel cuts into the tire
to each his own I guess
as Casey said shouldn't be too hard to make some
if thats what you want

I was really just asking. I am sure you know far more about bead locks then I. I can see how the outer edge would cut in a lot less if the outer ring had a bit of coning to it. I had never even thought about that.

Thanks.

I always grind a nice radius along the entire outer edge to help keep the cut's minimal.
