there is no need for bead locks. your not going 100 or offroading and rock crawling. so, if you want i bet you could find some or build them.

Most shifter karts run 5" beadlock rims, as they run at high speeds 80-130mph and pull high "G's" in the corners.
Some LTO (Left Turn Only) karts run 6" beadlock rims for dirt applications at 50-60mph with low pressure (6-9psi) for grip.
The only reason you want to have beadlocks on a BSR is to look cool as they would serve no other purpose.

Your Barstool might be able to do 100, but you might wish it hadn't. Lol.
