These are an updgraded version of my military style 1.0 inch beadlock wheels, now with screw in HUBCAPS. I've added two options, one that uses ten M1.6 bolts on the outside (for aesthetic purposes only) and another with printed dimples (for a different look or to avoid RSI trying to screw in a million screws)
Â
These will suit most 3rd party tires, like those from INJORA, DJ CRAWLER, etc. They have a large offset, so the wheels will protrude wider than standard and should easily bolt on to a standard 7mm hex without any problems. The opening to put the wheel nut on is narrow, so you'll need a thin-walled hex driver (approx. 7mm wide), like the ones sold by Injora.
Â
Each wheel requires six M1.6 x 5mm (6mm is fine too), plus ten M1.6 (up to 6mm long) if using the version with external bolts. Aligning the first bolt to tighten the parts together can be a bit of a pain, but just carefully line the front and back up and once the first bolt grabs it's pretty simple from there.
Â
The TPU washers are strongly recommended, as they will help to secure the hubcap and prevent it from coming loose. I've only completed some basic testing on these, so I'm unsure how well they may stay in place with heavy use, but so far so good. I've included a tool to allow you to tighten and remove the hubcaps. Only hand tighten until it bites, do not overtighten, as you'll risk snapping the head off the cap.
Â
The hubcap design includes a hex hole that runs through the threaded section, so hopefully if the head does snap off it will expose the hole and allow you to remove the remaining thread using a 3mm allen key. The rims can still be used without the hubcap in place.
