Default Bead locks

I would never use bead locks for racing, glued rims and tires (when done Properly) offer many performance advantages. Weight and durability being the top most.
That being said, if you still want to use them, clean the bead of the tires with alcohol then use a thin coat of rubber cement around the bead of the tire. Install on rims with cement tacky. This should make your wheels more reliable and still re-usable.
