I'm interested in a set of aluminum wheels for my 2001 Kawasaki Lakota, I like the brushed aluminum look wheel like those on the Yamaha Warriors not the polished chrome look. Who has the better wheels? ITP, Douglas, etc. I need one that has the rolled outer lip due to the rough & rocky conditions I ride in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

i love my douglas wheels there sick really strong and hold up great i hear...man how do you not like the polished???your crazy they look insane man...i like douglas i hear get things about them...but thats just me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

D.I.D. the maker of Chains and factory Honda wheels and maybe Yamaha is making after market wheels now....i'd check them out....they come in the brushed finish too

 

Thanks for your reply Vunit, I'm just not much into the glitz and glamor or the polished aluminum, plus at Windrock the terrain is so rocky and rough in the areas we ride the polished finish of the wheels would show up every nick and scratch.

Thans for your reply rolsmojave3, from what I have saw on the internet, they just make a few different sizes. By the way do the ITP Mud Lites hook-up good, were they worth switching to? Also I noticed you are running 25 inchers, how much did they affect the power, I'm sure you have had issues with ground clearance like me, thus the reason for going with taller tires, right?

 

Hes running the 25s on his eiger not his lakota

 

Hey, sorry, my mistake, that's what happens when your in a hurry.
We'll try this again, those that have changed from a stock tire to the ITP Mudlites, did they improve the traction, stopping power, etc. Are they good on rocks?

 

the mudlites on the eiger took the power down a little bit...but the trade off in traction was worth it....also i don't really know if they'd be a good rock tire...they are 6 ply but i can get holes in them fast, they are kinda soft also so that helps with traction

 

ya the mudlite sounds like a good tire for you and they do pritty well on rocks and rocky hills and for a mud tire they have hardly worn and i have had then for a year and i do a fare share of rideing on pavement so i was suprised.....as far as a wheel the t9 baja from itp will probally be the strongest but the DID wheels are pritty nice too but i dont think they come in a 4/155.......
