Rear rims

[banshdog]

hey guys, im lookin to get a new set of rear rims for the shee. i dont wanna break the bank on these things, but i do want something that is gonna be strong and look good.

 

I like the look of a bigger rim on the back, like some 12 inch shinny ass ones, what are the ups and downs to a larger rim?

 

I have a set of rims and tires for the dunes, so these would be for all other riding, and maybe even trying a lil mx next spring.

 

if you would, please give me your input on size of the rims and tires, manufacturers, pros and cons, etc.

 

thanks

Thanks for the response

I have the .190 douglas for in the dunes.

 

I want something that looks different than them, and can afford something slightly more expensive than them.

 

I was checking out ITP website, stuff like the C series, and the new cast aluminum wheels look kinda cool. Any input on these? Other brands I should consider?

 

thanks again.

i would go with either 9 or 10 inch itp baja t9's. these are the .190 rims with the ring rolled in the lip. rocky mountain sells them for about 100 a piece i think. tire and wheel packages wil be cheaper if u want tires too. ive heard the c series wheels arent as strong and are made more for duning than mx. for any type of mx i would recommend a reinforcement ring like in the baja t9's.

Go with a set of Douglas Ultimate Billet center wheels. They have a rolled edge and are as stout as a rim can be. They look super trick as well. Be prepared to pay for them tho.
