What's lighter, factory rims or douglas .190?

The douglas .190's

I almost prefer stock in some situations. They take a beating. I've had the .190's they they seem to fold under when I smash into stuff out on the ranch. I've got a rim i will have to take a picture of for all of you next time i go home. I took a stock rim and slid sideways into a rock under some snow one year and folded the bead all the way into the center of the rim and the tire stayed on and i rode home on it. lol I had some .190's and did the same sort of thing going up a rutted hill in some trees and that rim cracked down the center and got bent all to hell with about half the impact I had from the rock incident.

So it looks like that rolled edge holds up well. I had a set of douglas .190 with sanddevils but they were heavy. I've ridden the same places and the rocks dented the douglas and just scratch the stock ones, but I have never weighed just the rims though.

douglas are lighter.

 

Im with 350. The stockies hold up like no tomorrow. I have been thru several sets of douglas and ITP wheels, all folding under the pressure. But I still have my stock 97 wheels. I actually have my Razr's on um for recreational use. they are ugly as fugly gets. they have been beat to shit, then beaten back into shape. If a bead gets blown, I just use a hammer. best tool to have on the trail.
