Just wondering what you all thought was the best aftermarket wheel? I recently bought a set of ITP 9x9,.190, for the rear of my 400ex, and after 2 races & a weekend ride, they are totally bent to F**k. Are douglas wheels any better? I was really disappointed in the ITP's, if anyone can give my any info & opinions about other wheel companys i would really appreciate it... Also give my your opinions on what kind of tires you think are the best as far as traction & durability....

 

that is weird I have ITp 9x9 .190 on the back of my 250r I raced MX once with them hit a tree and they are still straight as can be. I also have mitchell 8x8 .190 for my 250r and they are really strong and haven't had one ding yet even though I had to ride 2 miles through big rocks woith a flat they still have no dings. I also have Itp .190 wide off-set on the front of my 250r.
I have maxxis razr's 20/11/9 on the Itp rear and I LOVE them I think the world of them I have them on my 300ex right now and they are great hook up great slide great and even got me through some rough spots. I also have itp's new holeshot mx's I likwe them durability ois not good though I rode for about 20 minutes and and had a rip in the sidewall.I ordered a new one and it should be in wednesday. on the mitchell .190 and I have itp's holeshot on the front of my 250r.they really turn good and don't piush at all.if U want a pic of the razr's and front holeshots on my 250 e-mail me for a pic.

did they have those bead locking rings on them?.....the std .190 are suppose to be stronger than stock.....but anything with a decent pounding will bend...most the guys i've seen race use rims with those bead locking rings.....stronger..just my 2 cents

 

Hey man. I have douglas .160's on my turf tamers. They do great, I have ridden with them alot and they do very well. They haven't bent at all and I ride pretty hard. Well hope I have helped.

 

i have stock on front and itp 8 inchers on rear i beat the s**t out of my x and the fronts are about perfect but the itps are bent to f**k they still hold air though

p.s. railroad ties ruin rims

 

I just wonder if there is any way to tell what thickness they rims are. I bet the *******s sent me the thin ones when i paid for the .190's. Could be possible.....
