I just started running beadlocks on my car earlier this yr. I have aluminum sbc powered car only running 150.I prob dont need them but I was able to get these @ a good deal so thats why I got them. Like Mike said they are more stable and the clamping force helps keep the side walls from wearing out quickly. I do not have near as much side wrinkle as I used to have and there easy to take on/off. If your looking to do a conversion, mine were done by champion beadlocks, there the wavelock style ring. I have a 4 link Quay dragster that will prob run high 170's on the stop and was planning on sending those wheels to Champion to convert. I believe a 16x16 double conversion thru them is 460 a wheel, hope this helps
