Default 30 series beadlock rims for rusty

Where can I find rims like this. I am so tired of replacing tires/rims every other weak. I need some beadlock rims for my Rustler, and I like bigger rims w/lower profile tires. I can't even find any 30 series beadlocks but I seen them in a magazine so I know they exist. Also reccomend some good road tires to fit them. I have been using RPM claws with pro-line road rage tires. These seem to last the longest since I do a lot of on road high speed runs. I even duck tape the wheels and they don't last more than a couple weeks with the mamba 5700 and 3s 5000's. I have another question: do beadlock rims hold the tires on with power like this? I can't keep tires glued on very well, they seem to blow off every couple runs and I thought I knew how to glue tires pretty well. I have to reglue them often.

Haha. I have the same problem with my tires. I'm using the 2.8" Anacondas in the rear, and one of the rear tires' edge partially ripped from the glued bead area, so I had to reglue it, and it still came off after a few minutes....

I can't say I've seen beadlocks used for high speed use, but if you tighten them enough, I guess it would be better than buying a whole new set of wheels as well as tires....

I use aluminium beadlocks and have yet to blow off a tire at high speeds. And I haven't even taped the tires.

The only beadlocks that I know of that will even fit a rusty are these. I have them and they are great!

If you want a bullitproof beadlock, check out RC4WD.com. I got them on my rusty.

Which ones are those? What wheels? Also which pro-line body is that? My rusty used to be a bandit and I'm still running the buggy body because I can't find a body I like. Actually I did but the one I like is the Pro-Line Desert Rat for the rusty, but my hobby shop said it won't be available until mid or late October.
