Beadlock or rockring enforced steel wheels?
Does anyone make them? I'm tired of killing my wheels! Aluminum just doesn't hold up for me for the trails I run. Big rocks and bigger rocks with big ruts from offroad buggies. I ride a 200x atc and no problems on the front but I beat the rear like crazy. My buddy rides a dvx 400 and it had brand new Itp wheels and now the front wheels are trashed after 2 rides. It's so fun though that we can't stay away. I'm looking for just plain 9x9 wheels 4x110 with either rockrings or beadlocks. If there's nothing out there I'll just have to make my own. I'm surprised there isn't a market for these for just the trail riders on sport bikes.

There's several companies that do make beadlock wheels(ITP,Douglas wheel,OMF,etc)Some quads even come stock with a ring on one side of the oem wheel.I'd check out rockymountainatv,motosport,denniskirk,discounttire ,etc.Most parts sites have a wheel/tire combo package or a parts search engine so you can find parts for a specific machine...

Yep, and either type should work... beadlocks or reinforcing rings...
I am pretty sure OMF is probably the strongest available... but also very expensive.
Yet not insane if you are trashing a wheel every ride...
I have ITP Baja's with the reinforcing ring that I have beat the snot out of.
I haven't been able to hurt them so far.
Also, running a tire with a stiff sidewall and picking a tire/rim combo (width) that provides the wheel some inlaid protection helps too.
I didn't really follow this route with my ITP Bajas but have been ok.
20x11-9 tires on 9x9 rear wheels turned out pretty square.
9x8 width would set them in a little...
