18" beadlock
Is Forgestar D5 our only choice for beadlocks for an 18" setup?

Yes. Unless you add the beadlock yourself.

I personally have the CCBs but the 15" or 17" conversions are the only way to go smaller.

Bang for the buck, it appears the Forgestar D5's are the way to go. Looks like I will be ordering a set tomorrow. Anyone have a hookup for some savings on these?

Forgeline also makes beadlocks for these cars in an 18, certainly more expensive than Forgestar however.

I like the Forgestars. You might PM LA Motorsports to see what he can do on prices.

Thanks for the reply. Weld's 18" are not available in beadlock. This means the Welds after sending them out to be bead locked by someone else will be very expensive. Thanks again for the suggestion though.
