Upgrade Your Drag Car with Wheels from RC Components!

At RC Components, we know wheels, but most importantly, we know speed. In addition to our custom motorcycle wheels, we’re proud to offer high-quality drag wheels for your street racing ride. Our Comp Series forged race wheels are designed to give you the strength you need without the added weight of other manufacturers. Best of all, our rear wheels utilize beadlocks rather than relying on traditional rim screws to secure the tire. Today, we’ll take a look at beadlocks and discuss what makes them superior to rim screws.

What is a beadlock?

Beadlocks are the type of fastener used to hold the tire to the rim. Unlike rim screws, which are a separate piece of equipment, beadlocks are integrated into the design of the drag wheel itself. The beadlocks clamp the beads of the tire to the wheel, preventing any wrinkling or slipping of the rubber. This goes a long way towards improving the durability of the tire while also giving your vehicle more control and stability at higher speeds.

Does your car need it?

If you plan on hitting high speeds close to 200 mph, beadlocks will give your vehicle much more stability and traction. While rim locks do work, the added stress placed on the rear tires of a drag racing vehicle can damage your tires over time. Best of all, beadlock wheels make it easier to change out a tire should you experience a flat on the course.

Our RC Comp Series Beadlock Rear Wheels are the perfect upgrade to your drag racer. Like all of our wheels, the beadlock wheels are available in polished chrome, gloss black, or our eclipse finish. Order yours today.
