^^ This. With the fake rings you seat the bead like a regular tire. With the true beadlock ring you seat the bead like a beadlock.

Lol. Actually, yes. My senior was at a high school party that got busted. He somehow was able to leave with a 30 pack of Keystone Light. Now they are mine to use how I want.

He got busted AND managed to come home with free beer?
That’s a good kid right there. Should train him into some better taste for next time.

My wife and I drove 30 minutes each way to get him and a few of his friends from Tahoe. I drove one of his friend’s vehicles home. They are lucky that I knew the sheriff’s deputy or they may have ended up with minor in possession tickets. But yes, he knows how to handle himself both with booze and with cops. The deputy commented on how respectful and cooperative he was.
As for the keystone, what can I say. He is a broke high school kid...quantity over quality.

Ahh the good old days of the “dirty thirty”. Drank my more than my share of that crap beer before my tastes and budget changed.

I personally am not a fan on power coat for something that is going to get scratched up a lot. I feel that spray paint works just fine over power coat but you can see the difference in thickness on big gouges more. I use Krylon Fusion matte black on everything and when I get a good scratch, I just sand the area smooth and re shoot with paint and it blends in just fine. For those wheel rings I would spray paint all day long over power coat.

Letting the final coat of flame red dry, then I’ll clear coat. They aren’t perfect, but they look great for what they are.
I also decided that the ring bolts would look better black than gold, so I’m getting set up to prime the bolt heads and then paint them with some extra black chassis paint I have sitting around.

That looks great.
Next tire change, I will likely strip what's left of the powder coat from the rings and spray them.
I like your idea of the black bolts. Really going to look good with the red.
