Mine are beadlock outside with reinforced rings on the inside. I ordered 10x9 in rear and 10x6 in front. With the 04-05 DS don't get the reinforced ring on the front inside as it will hit the top a-arm. They tried to talk me into the 10x5 with the ring but I had some 10x5 rims before and they are too narrow for the DS in my opinion., I had mine powdercoated for a stronger finish, but they do offer anodizing in red, blue, and black. Best set of rims I have ever bought for the DS.

 

JMAC did u get ur power coating done locally?

 

Yes. I have a guy near my house who did them all for $100.

 

I will be sending the Hipers back on Wednesday. I ordered a set of OMF beadlocks with rings on the inside (9x9 rear and 10x5 front). I should be riding on them sometime next week. Can't wait...

 

When I bought my '05 DS 650 a year ago this month I was all hot on getting a set of Hiper wheels for it. Hiper told me they would have the right bolt pattern and offset for the '04 and '05 DS 650s "within two weeks", so be patient with them. Now here it is a year later and they still don't have a product that fits the DS 650 the way that it should, and doesn't require remachining the hubs to fit their wheels. All I can say is GOOD JOB on sending your wheels back to Hiper. Maybe if a few hundred more people did the same thing Hiper would have a light bulb go on in their thick little heads, and they would figure out that they need to improve their product. Because as it is now, it would appear that Hiper has all the business they need, and doesn't care whether or not they get any business from DS 650 owners. So be it, ... OMF makes a better product anyway.

I cant believe I got through this whole thread without loosing my temper. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

In my opinion, as I have stated in many MANY posts in the past, (also as DesertViper said it) until hiper changes thier offset, there really isnt even much of an application here. I have a set of hipers in my garage that has been collecting dust for over 2 years. Yes they suck, they are wrong, and hiper shouldnt even be selling a wheel that has the wrong offset. The problem here is that if you dont know it has the wrong offset, you can set yourself up for a potential problem or accident.

If somebody really really REALLY wants a set of hipers, let me know, and come remove them from my garage. They're just taking up valuable space. Oh, please bring a waiver so I dont get my butt sued.
