Sim bead-lock upgrade

I was getting alittle tired of the hex head bolts inplace of my simulated bead-lock mounts. So I drilled and taped the hex head bolts and studded them so I could mount these 5/8" brass/nickel coated spikes.....all 96 of them...lol Thats not counting the 1" studs I piggybacked on the lugnuts.

Looks like you can rip most passenger car tires pretty easily with those. Cool.

The other day while I was at a truck show an older lady pulled her kid away from my wheels and said,"Thats so dangerous...you gotta be kidding me." As she walked away quickly.
I think at the next truck show I'm goona put some road kill hanging from the spikes.

Not a fan of mock locks (or cartoon claws drawn on tire sidewalls) but show trucks are expected to be over-the-top.
