Polaris RZR beadlock wheels on my cart??

Nikwho · 10-26-2015, 06:37 PM

Hello all,
I have a set of Polaris RZR beadlock wheels that I want to run on my Yamaha G1/EZGO FRANKEN-cart. I've found very pricey options online as far as adapters go. I'm trying to think outside the box and get creative. I have a lathe and drill press, so worst case scenario, I can make something myself. I was hoping to find an easy option, like finding some hubs that I can modify to fit or some reasonably priced adapters. I figure that I can't be the first person to want to run wheels like these on my cart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Nik C.

I'd spend the money on the adapters.

Hi Nik,
Re: current & new wheels, how do the lug patterns differ?
ie; 4 on (x.x) vs. 4 on (y.y)
If both are 4-lug, making adapters shouldn't be too difficult.

Sixity.com may have your adapter.

I've seen people make adapters out of welded steel plates/etc. I can only assume they did them strong enough, I don't know if they true them on a lathe when done or not. Anyway its cheaper than alum. I could get them made at work for example if i wanted some, but if I have to buy the alum its not cheap. We quoted 16x0.5" disks plasma cut for a job and they were $60 each. Roughly 128sqin of material since a 16 square was about the same, you would need maybe 5x5x3? 75sqin. Even if they are $40 each as a guess, that is 160 bucks for material is all I am saying. Then I'd have to cad them up and machine them. Steel is cheaper, its just a matter of making them true enough really. The ones I saw were plates with a hub between them.

Thank you and sorry to all that replied! I've been away from this project and just getting back to it. What I have is a Yamaha Cart, trying to install Polaris RZR bead lock wheels. the cart is 4 on 4", or 4 on 101.6mm and 9 looking to install a 4 on 156mm wheel.

Wheel adapters may be close to $100 each. May can buy new wheels cheaper. Is that your cart in the above picture?
