The ''Six-Pak'' includes 4 Stainless Steel wheels, 2 Aluminum wheels, 12 beadlock rings and all the needed hardware.
I had a chance to pick up a set of Bottoms Up Rock Racing new ''Six-Pak'' wheels. I really like the look of the wheels and the machine work is second to none. I have found out that the wheels will hold a Panther Cougar tire with only 4 of the 8 screws in the beadlock ring, and mount up the Panther Cougar tires is a breeze. Now on to some facts about the wheels. I have the berg offset wheels and I am running them on a set of Berg axles so all of my info is for a 2.2 Berg axle based rig.
The outside to outside measurement for Berg axles with the Stainless Steel Berg offset wheels is 10-1/8 with Panther Cougar tires and F400 soft foams. The outside to outside measurement of the Berg offset wheels with no tires or foams is 9-9/16. All of this information is the same for the Aluminum Berg offset wheels that will be used on the back axle of my Berg comp rig.
The wheels have a really good weight to them and there is no need to buy lead stick on weights for the wheels. I have found out that the Stainless Steel wheels have a weight of 15.7 oz with all of the hardware, beadlock rings, Panther Cougars, and F400 foams. For the weight of a Stainless Steel Berg offset wheel with all the hardware and beadlock rigs with no tire or foam the weight is 12.2 oz.
Now for some information on the Aluminum Berg offset wheels. The Aluminum Berg offset wheels with all the hardware, beadlock rings, Pather Cougars, and F400 soft foams have a combined weight of 8.9 oz. For the weight of an Aluminum Berg offset wheel with all the hardware and beadlock rings minus the Cougars and F400 foams the wieght is 5.3 oz of weight.
The Stainless Steel and Aluminum Berg offset wheels will work with the Vaquish Products aluminum high steer knuckles and the Crawler Design Works OTA/BTA for the Berg which is good because a lot of guys are using that setup.
I really like the options that you get with the ''Six-Pak'' wheel setup. For the fact you get 4 wheels for the front of your comp rig that you can setup with two different tire and foam setups, if you miss the setup with one set just swap the wheels out to your other setup. If you don't want to go that route with the spare wheels, set all 4 of the Stainless steel wheels up the same. That way if one course is wet or mud then you have a clean setup ready for the next course.
I am in the middle of rebuilding my Berg comp rig and am currently waiting on a few key parts to get the truck back in shape.
