Ducman Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 I'm in the mareket to buy a set of rims and paddles. I've pretty much narrowed down what my paddle preferences are. I would like to ask what are all your opinions on rims. The stock rims seem to be a better quality rim than many aftermarket rims out there. The stockers have the rolled lip at the outer edge of the rim which provides a lot of strength and adds alot of cost to an aftermarket rim like the new Douglass with the rolled lip at the outer edge, or the rims with the reinforcement rings. The stockers look very similar to the ITP T-9 which run a tad over $50 per rim +shipping new. What's your best estimate for the cost of a stock banshee rim (ea. or a set of 2, or 4 ect) that is in mint conditions or looks nearly new with little and/or no dings. These rims are to be used for the Oregon Sand Dunes only. I also will most likely have the rims painted black to go with my 04' limited black shee. So how much would you pay for stock rims and/or would you choose after market rims instead. Thanks, Zack Quote
Meat Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Id say for just ridin' around in the sand, the stock rims should work fine. You dont have to worry about hitting any rocks. I*think* alot of those dune-doods run the thinnest aluminum rims sold cause they dont have to worry about rocks denting the rims. Whats the thicness of the blue label Douglas rims, .110 ??? Anyways...... click the link and there's 20+sets of rims on Ebay BANSHEE RIMS ON EBAY !!!!! Quote
sandman121383 Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 my back rims were rough and i needed tires. i thought ronnies.com had great deals so i got a pair of ITP 10 inch t-9's (190 wall thickness) with 22 inch realter tires. i went with the ITP's because they look awesome and because i heard they were a good wheelset. i'm happy with them and really just wanted something new instead of a stock rim. BUT that link is a great one. lots of great deals on ebay whether u go stock or aftermarket Quote
Ducman Posted February 2, 2004 Author Report Posted February 2, 2004 There's a guy with a full set of 04' limited black rims in mint condition on e-bay. I offered him $160 shipped but he came backd with $220 + shipping. I didn't figure we'd be able to close that gap That was the first time the rims were for sale. Now he has them for "Buy it Now" for $200 opening bid $175 and $20 shipping. I think I will just get the ITP Sand Star package deal from rockey Mountain with the ITP T-9's or the ITP C-ceries. If you take the full price of the 4 tires off of the total price of the complete wheel package the rims come out to like $35 a piece for the T-9's and $57 for the C-series. I figured that $40 per rim + $20 shipping for the mint stockers was all I was willing to shell out. Quote
1_bansheenutt Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 I'm in search of two front wheels now.......my stealership here quoted me a price of $165.14 for EACH front wheel from Yamaha brand new, I'm doing new aftermarkets shipped, two of them for $50 bucks cheaper! Go with an aftermarket wheel. Quote
. Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 That's alright, go ask them what the price is for the tank side plastics of a regular banshee are, then ask them what the price is for the 2004 LE tank plastic. Put it this way.....the shit must be real carbon fiber Quote
