That would be cool. I think they will look good on your T4 as is though.. I wouldn't bother with doing anything to the rings.. They just get scratched up with where we ride.. | |

| One thing I've learned about B-Locs Mike........If they start leaking, the rings are too tight. You would think "That don't make sense" but it does!!!! | |

| I don't know if those rims came with instructions or not, But the bolts for the ring are suppose to be torqued to 10ft/lbs and your suppose to tighten them in a criss cross pattern. I looked it up on their site when I ordered mine since it seems all beadlocks have different torque specs... | |

| Thanks guys! No instructions. I just hit them in a cross-cross with the air ratchet and then tightened them by hand with a stubby ratchet. I will put the torque on them and see what I've got when I get back to the shop. I was amazed how easy they were. Hopefully they will last longer than the stockers. Any one need a blingy spare? | |

| You say that but I've first hand seen guys go all the way around in order checking that their bolts were tight before hitting the trail. I myself have never owned bead locks thats why i looked up the mounting instructions. I've also never broke the bead on a tire I just got bead locks cause they look cool. I'm sure ill still run 12 pounds of air anyway. | |

| I got them to ease my pain when mounting tires,(and not pay to get them mounted) man, so easy!!!! I understand what you're say'in Will.....some people don't deserve them!!!!!! I learned to criss-cross bolts when I was 6......... Over-tighten the rings, they will leak...... | |

Easy mounting is right. After the fiasco I went through taking the tires off the stock wheels I think I will always have beadlocks going forward. Just so easy. Same here Will. I think I will run higher than normal pressure, probably around 12-15. Normal pressure for 2.0's is zero.... | |
