Leaning towards 2" stitching to help keep them balanced better.

Never having welded beadlocks before I would think stitch to keep the warping to a minimum which would help balancing.

Not beadlocks, just rock rings.

I would just stitch weld them. Shouldn't take very much to hold it in place since it's only a rim stiffener and doesn't need to seal.

When in doubt weld it out. Stitch will probable hold it just fine but what will look better?

I would think fully welded would be easier to balance.

I am going to weld them up at my folks place on Saturday. I've got 5 of them to do. I need to get them mounted on tires since the truck is sorta blocking the driveway while it sits on jack stands. I also need to pull my 3rds to check some things, and install better mounting studs.

Come on by if you want to make the trip :thumbsup:

Size wheel?

Might have a set of 15s to get rid of.. I think..

My 17s have been to AU, CA, MD, and now back to CA. They are getting installed :)

17s. I fully welded them then flap disc'd the weld smooth.
