Default My front .160's Douglas rims are bent

FYI for anyone considering using .160 rims up front. I was changing my rims out last weekend and was suprised to see my front .160's with Sandstars are both bent. When you give them a good spin they are kind of egg shaped and wobble quite a bit. I have had three trips to the dunes on these rims and I have NOT hit any big jumps. I am also running .160s in the rear with my Haulers but they are straight as can be. So the only thing I can figure bent the fronts was pulling wheelies and coming back down hard on the front. I guess the heavy front end of the DS coming down from a wheelie is all it takes.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

That's weird! So you're saying that if I get some new sand stars for the front, I should get 190 rims just to ride at Glamis?

Thats a major bummer to hear Bryce. I will have to check the rims on our 02 baja as it has sand stars on douglas .160's too.

Unless these rims came already bent from Rocky Mountain, the only thing I can figure that bent them was pulling wheelies. I have not hit anything hard and have not hit any big jumps. I was pretty suprised to see them wobble. Sean let me know what your rims look like.
