Just to answer my own question,I called weld today-they said as long as they were weld wheels,and the stickers where on your car,they pay whether they did the beadlock conversion "which they do on there own wheels" or somebody else does it.both charge about the same price to do it they pay.

I have a quiestion as we have been considering going to a beadlock. What kind of MPH did you guys loose making the switch? Just curious how much it was lost adding the weight to the wheel. Mine is just a lowly S/ST car but think they look cool Besides my old screw holes are getting a little worn out.
