Weld bead lock rings to steel wheels

Post by DrDirt »

I need to have 4 bead lock rings welded to steel wheels. Wheels are 15” diameter.
What is a fair price to have this work done?

So, John and I did some investigation independently and found that the price for welding bead locks can vary greatly. The information below is just for the welding. Given that we supply the rim and bead lock flange. John found a shop close to him that would charge $25 per rim. I went to a shop in East Peoria and they gave me an estimate of about $300 for 5 rims. (Which means $60 per rim). Just throwing this information out there for anyone who might be interested.
