BWD U-Locks

[slowngreen]

Well I just switched to BWD (Billet Works Design) U-Locks. They are just one of a very few that are super light.

Onto some pics...

I got mine in white delrin.

They are .5 inches wide.

The sickest thing about them is that they use a 1/4 spacer to adjust the width and or the offset. It can be mounted on the front or the back or more than one on either side!

U Lock with rings and hardware, no spacers.

I'm running one spacer on the outside of each, front and back. Wich means I am running for .75 wide rims.

White Rover with an F400 untouched.

Installed.

With the 1/4" spacer on the outside on my Bully axles, with Rovers I have a tire to tire width of right at 10", perfect.

Do they make them in a 1.9? If they do do you have a link? Thanks.

Definatly, I like them better than SLW's personally, plus their cheaper. I wish he would come out with different colored bead rings, black preferably...He prolly will soon enough.

You could always paint them or have them powder coated

what's the purpose to lighter wheels if everyone's putting weight in them? Or is it because they're narrow?

 

[slowngreen]

A lighter rig is better for the fact that you can place weight where you want it. They are more agile and more predictable. So if you can have a 5 lb rig before adding any weight, you can easily add a little bit of wieght to where you want it without making it a tank. For me, running Bully axles, I started off with a heavy rig, Bully axles are very heavy stock so it take a lot of little things to get down to a good weight.
