I like your setup. I really like your rims and I've been contemplating purchasing new tires and rims for 420. Are those deltas much heavier than the OEM wheels? Also, when you said you've noticed the atv rides and handles differently on "loose dirt and hard trail" what do you mean? My main concern is I don't want to change the way my atv handles nor do I want to suffer a noticable power loss. I'm torn with this purchase because there so many options.

Nice trailer! What kind is it? By the way, nice yard.

 

VooDoo01,

Ya, the TerraCross tires and ITP steel wheels are heavier then the stock OEM tires and wheels but I did not notice any power loss whatsoever. However if additional weight is a concern for you, go with the lighter alloy wheels. I prefer steel over alloy due to price and ruggedness. Plus my final cost per wheel and tire was around $89 each (figure includes $275 less from the sale of my OEM tires and wheels)

Performance wise I got better stability, smoother ride and a feeling of increased confidence when zooming down the trails at the speed of light. I also like the aggressive look as well. No bling, just all business.

 

Not to beat the dead horse, but are those rims (without the tires) much heavier that the OEM rims?

 

I'm contemplating painting my factory wheels either black or dark grey. I don't like the offset of aftermarket wheels. They stick out too far for me. Can they match the offset of oem?

Thanks! The trailer is a Newmans sled bed...all aluminum.

So what kind of motorcycle/atv jack is everyone using? My wheels will be here Tuesday and I need to get my jack by then.

 

When I did my wheel swap, I used a regular floor jack with a piece of 2x4 to protect the quad. Now jackstands would be nice.

 

You can find ATV jacks for around $50 from various places. The ATV jack is nice as it allow you to elevate the whole bike easily and quickly.

 

What kind do you have?

Mine is from China as are most I'm guessing, purchased from Tractor Supply, I've seen them listed on sears.com as well.
