I am going to buy some aluminum billet wheels in a 12 x 7 size. I am wanting anybody's comments on each one. It seems like the ITP wheels are more common in my part of the country (TX). I want something that is easy to replace if needed, i.e. damaged or whatever. I called ITP and the person I spoke with (Jaime) was very knowledgeable about the product and mailed the literature on the wheel very promtly. On the other hand, when I called Douglas, the guy did not know what I was talking about. He did not know about the national adverising campaign in the ATV mags! He mailed me a catalog that did not have the new wheel in it. So, I called back and another customer service person gave me the same response. I just cannot believe Douglas is a company like that. Otherwise, they would not be in business. Has anyone had any dealings with them?
I like both wheels. The Douglas has a little different "look" to it, but the ITP is very bright and looks very good.
At this point, I feel safer with ITP.
Thanks for any input.

I don't think Douglas makes the Billet wheels in 12" sizes. I think they only make the 12" sizes in red labels.

Maybe thats why they didn't know what you were talking about.

They are "supposed" to come out the 1at quarter of 2000. They did not know what I meant by aluminum billet wheel. I thought they were putting me on or that they were gonna' try to sell me a Max 6x6 . I had better just stick to the ITP's.
