T-9 BAJA OR DOUGLAS ULTIMATE BEADLOCK

[DMAN94]

i am getting ready to get new rear rims, maybe tires at the same time. my current rims are twisted. i am looking at the 2 in the title.

 

is anyone running these or have any feedback on the 2. the prices for each rim are only a few dollars apart. i didn't know if there was any advantages to either. no one i know is running these an its hard to compare from just reading in the books. i will be running 8" rims for mx.

 

i am also currently running 18/10/8. i was thinking of going with a 19 holeshot mx4 or the 18" mx6. any feedback on the 19" tires. how did they do on the track? i run 18"'s an like them, but was thinking the 19 may be worth a try. i can only get one or the other that is why i am asking for any help, pro's or con's of the 2.

 

thankyou for all your advice on this topic.

If you can get the extra money id say go with Hiper rims best money can buy IMO.

The t-9 has a re-enforcing ring on the bead of the wheel that prevents "stop signing" or making ur rims look like D's. The beadlocks will hold the tire onthe rim at extremely low air pressures and lots of side load. If you ride in a racky area I would get the bajas and at least 20" tires. If u ride on a motocross track I would get the beadlocks.

If you can afford them, get the beadlocks. One you can easily change you're own tires, and two you can keep going if you happen to get a flat.

I've gotT-9's on my 450R and they look good, but stay away from ITP cause they bend to easy. I had Douglas wheels before that and they were great.
