Default are douglas ultimate beadlocks strong enough 4 mx

I was looking at a set of ultimate billet center beadlocks and I was wondering if they were strong enough for mx? The only thing that scares me is they do not seem to have a large rear reinforcement ring. I was looking at these on the computer so any one with some info would bew greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i would go with champion with the inner reinforcing ring. They will be stronger and last longer. Just my 2 cents

the douglas ultimate wheels have a rolled lip on the inside which is almost as strong as a reinforcing ring that's welded in, maybe stronger- douglas heat treats thier wheels to peak strength(T-6) & welding takes away from that strength because it gets it so hot.

so, to answer your question- yes they are strong enough for MX.
