The HiPer wheels r definatly a strong wheel, I have them on my DS650 .When you get your set try and get their mud plugs

 

Well, you guys have talked me into it.. You should all go to work for HyPer Tech. I will be ordering them sometime after christmas. Thanks.

 

Well, HyPer just sank my boat.. They do not currently offer an 8x8 wheel.. And if they do, I can't find it. Looks like JL will be getting my money..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I have had a set of Hyper-Techs all year too. They weigh about as much as a stock wheel and much less than the other bead locks. I have raced them in MX all year with no problems. I also raced them in a 2-hour endurance race that was harder on them than anything. My buddy broke the center of a stock 400 wheel right off in that race, and it was a new machine. They are expensive but I can say they work well. The only complaint I have is that they leak a little air. Because they are made of several pieces, they can leak from those joints and may need a little air from time to time. And they are definately the coolest looking wheel around. They draw a crowd at the track every race.

 

Do they come in 8x8?

 

They dont come in 8x8 but if you get the 10 inch rims you can get some 18inch holeshot mx's

 

Give the guys at hiper a call or do some searching for previous posts here from them. They had some good reasons for not making an 8" wheel.

Dennis, do you happen to know a source to where I can find this information? And, unless they are planning on making an 8" wheel, I believe I'll go with the JL's. I really want carbon fiber, but I really want 8" wheels too. I don't guess you can always have the best of both worlds though.

 

Why do they need to be 8X8 >??????

 

I talked with the guys at HiPer and they r going to make 8x8 very soon and Dana Creech is going to be doing the stress testing on them .Probably they will be out in a couple of months they said
