Wheels: Safety bead - opinions?
I was looking at some 13x8 rims for my toyota, which i plan to (legally) race and drive on the streets every once in a while. I came across some race wheels that cost about $50/each for the standard type or $100/each w/ the safety bead lock. Is double the price worth it or would i be wasting my money? The safety bead lock option is 4lbs heavier and 2x the price.


Also, whats the difference between Rolled and Spun wheels?
