How are the Douglas Ultimate Wheels??

I want to get them for my Honda Fourtrax 300 2x4. It is a utility, but I have seen these wheels on a utility quad before and they look awesome.

So How Would They Work, And Would I Be Better Off With A .190 Red Lable?

 

H300F,
I believe Dougls makes three diferent rims in the Ultimate series..a billet center, a billet center with a beadlock, and the Ultimate conventional, which has a rolled edge.Strengthwise, I doubt that any of them would approach your stock steel rims. I'm not even sure they are available in utility sizes.
As for the three "label" rims in .125,.160. & .190 for the Red label, the latter would be the only possible option, & even that would cost you some strength, especially in the bead area. I run Red labels on my Warrior and in cc or desert riding they take a beating and they show it.
So bottom line...if you never ride in big rocks or logs, but on fairly smooth terrain, the alloy rims would probably work for you.
I have a Suzuki KQ also & I'd never use alloy rims on it
