Product Information
Walker Evans Racing is proud to announce their very own solid cast aluminum bead locked wheels. They have poured all of their racing, crawling, and wheeling experience into these top quality wheels. Over the years they have seen just about every racing wheel made. Used in many off road racing events, bead locked wheels firmly grip the tire onto the wheel. This prevents the tire from coming off the wheel especially when low tire pressures are used. Low tire pressure equals more traction.

Most beadlocked wheels currently on the market start off as a standard wheel. The outer lip of the wheel is removed and a ring is welded to the wheel. This ring serves as the backing plate for the outer lock ring to bolt to. Walker Evans take a different approach and cast the beadlock into the wheel from the start. Making the entire wheel from a single cast part eliminates the extra step of welding on a separate ring and reduces the chances of leaks. A single cast-design results in a stronger more reliable wheel. These wheels are rated at 3,800 lbs per wheel. Much higher then nearly all other wheels on the market.

Each wheel features grade 8 hardened bolts to attach the outer ring. Each bolt threads into long steel inserts securely mounted in the wheel.

Making their own wheels also allows Walker Evans the opportunity to relocate the valve stem. On most wheels today the valve stem is located near the outside of the wheel. It's not uncommon to see these damaged and even torn off by rocks, roots and other trail obstacles, resulting in a flat tire. By moving the valve stem further back into the wheel, out of harms way, the problem is virtually eliminated. We think they have one the best built, best looking, strongest wheel design on the market! We run them on most of our comp and trail rigs with zero wheel failure.

The Walker Evans 15x8 wheel is available in 3 3/4" to 5" backspace (see the next page to order 15x8 wheels). The 17x8.5 wheels are available in 3 3/4" to 6" backspace. And the 20x8.5 is available in 4 3/4" to 6" backspace (please call us to order). Backspacing is cut to order on all wheel sizes. All standard automotive bolt patterns are available from 5 to 8 lug including Hummer and VW applications.
