I was reading an old thread by Woody about using sheet metal screws to lock a bead ala drag racing style. Consensus was: NO!
So here's another angle. Would it work better if the screws were put in the horizontal edge of the wheel rather than the outside edge? You know, with the point of the screw pointing toward the tread rather than toward the inside of the wheel? You follow? This way the tire wouldn't be trying to "pull" off of the screws, but rather there would be more of a shearing force applied to them.
Well, Fire away
