gipperz Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Okay, here the deal. I'm gonna purchase new front rims and tires and was wondering what rim I should choose and why. These are for my 4mill bike and I trail ride it, I really dont jump just enjoy going fast on open fire roads and wide trails. Should I also get an offset rim? I have stock arms right now. Help me in the right direction please. Thanks, gipperz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steers and responds pretty well. I think they are pretty much same offset as the stockers but, I'm running lsr +2+1 arms as well. They were pretty damn cheap from RMATV also. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodwardspecialties Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 what wheels to get will depend on you and your needs... both companies offer a great selection... and a great product. the way to go in my opinion is the yellow label douglases, they arent too high priced.. but they are very strong...

WickedWayz83 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I 've got the Douglas Quad-Rocks with Kenda Klaws on all four corners. They're light as hell, hook and turn awesome, and I think they look killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I run the regular ITP offsets for trails & work fine for me. They are soft so I've bent a couple rims while riding hard & hitting sharp rocks. I just air'd up a bit & took care of the dent with a rubber mallot. No prob's since. Offsets work great on stock arms & axles. Sit's you a bit wider & you can't complain when hauling ass thru those fire roads, they come in very handy!! I run the ITP C Series in the sand, they're a stronger wheel but I won't dare take my nice PC rims into that rocky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Ive always been a fan of the douglas wheels super strong and you can get an offset but dont go to crazy +2+1 arms for the Banshee are the ticket. I will be buying the Douglas Beadlocks strongest wheels Ive ever seen Pricey but they will last. And yellow lable should be fine for the desert strong and light.

crbanshee Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 i would definately say go with ITP over douglass any day. im running the itp on all 4 and they are solid wheels. i folded 3 sets of douglass from just hitting rocks at speed. the itp rims i hit a train track doing about 55 and although the bike stopped and i kept going the fromt rims didnt even have a ding. the offsett will bring your front end out just a bit and you will notice a difference. just a little bit of extra width up front helps alot.. ITP also has the baja series rims that are bullett proof, i have a buddy that ran 40 miles in a desert race on a front flat with the baja style rims and it didnt even scratch them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 The banshee I bought has douglass on there. I am always bending the flange. I ride in a forest and the trails are tight. I brush a tree with the front tires and it bends the flange out. Most of the time I dont even know when it happend. Usually if you catch a tree and bend the wheel you remember when you did it. Not these they seem to be as soft as butter. I think the previous owner cheaped out and got blue or black lables, not the red .190's.
