I am thinking about getting some new Mudlites XL for my 05 Rubicon. What kind of ITP rims should I get? How heavy are the c series compared to the original rims?

 

The aluminum wheels should be lighter. If you have a chance go to atvoutfitters.net and check out the ITP wheels and the new Maxxis wheels. We put the Maxxis on the Rancher in the 8-spoke wheel and man are they awesome. Also the Maxxis doesnt stick out as far on the front as most other mags do , therefore you dont get as muddy either. Theres a lot of good looking wheels out there now. Also, you may want to look at the new mudlite radials, there are in 14 inch instead of 12 and of course that created a whole new set of wheels again in the 14 inch version. Looks pretty sharp!

 

i have the mud lites on my 04 rubicon and they are a rough ride on anything but soft terrane.
i would go with a set of tires that have the overlapping treads.
somthing like the mud bugs or the gators or a tire the has that type of pattern.
i thought i would like my mud lites when i got them but my gators that i had befor them were better.
and when i got my kawi with the mud zillas in january i thought the ride would be rough but it was smoother and a way better tire.
and i asked a few people why it would be a smoother ride and i was told that theoverlapping tread pattern help make it ride smooth.
its somthing to think about you go spending your money.
the zillas are the best tire i have seen in action and the best riding tire (suprisingly) i have had expeareance with. and the mud bug are just as good and half the price.
and the bugs are better then the mud lites hands down in the snow, mud, hard pack, or any terrane.
and they cost less then the mud lites.
i would check out the bugs also you might just like them better.
good luck with your choice.

 

I disagree and like my mudlites. I find the gators very rough riding.
