Weld-on bead locks

Has anyone here ever had any dealings with weld on bead locks if so what kit did you use and why?I'm thinking about doing this and I was looking for some good advice on what kit to use or which one's to stay away from?

 

Nick I've put 3 sets on now, and they are really easy to do. Basically pull the tire off, clean paint rust off the outer edge of ring, center the ring, weld the **** out of it, we used the anticoning ring which prevents the outer ring from being pulled down at an angle when the bolts are tightened up. Got a couple of hints that may help you, first make sure your wheels are front load wheels, we ran into a problem where a guy special ordered some 15x10s with 2" of backspacing, and they ended up being a rear load wheel which will not work. Also put down a bead of silicon around where the tires will meet the inner ring, it will help it keep from leaking. Also check where the valve stem hole is, on 2 of the 3 sets I've done I had to weld up the original hole and drill a new one, mainly because it would be impossible to get the air fitting on the valve due to clearence. Also after you've had them on for a little while CHECK THE BOLTS!!! I put mine on ran it one weekend and then went back, I could spin 75% of the bolts with my fingers, and that was with locnuts on the inside. But other than that happy welding.

Heres a couple pics of the ones on gold..

It really does appear easy, but you can see why the anti-coning rings are advised.
