Looking to put aluminum rims on my 2003 Scrambler 500 - anybody have any suggestions on brands and best prices?

 

I am looking to do the same for my scram. Everybody that I have talked to say to get the Douglas Red Label .190's. The best price that I have found are from Rocky Mountain ATV. They are $48 each for the front and $49 each for the rear. Rocky Mt doesnt have them listed on their site, but they are in their catalog.

 

Stick with the .190 for sure. I will tell you that if you trail ride a lot and go through any rocky areas, you will end up with small dents on the wheel edges. It cant be avoided. But the aluminum sure does look good.

 

Yea dont go with anything under the .190s for trail riding. I ride real hard and i mean real hard and only have 2 bends in them. Not big bends but that would have happened on any rim. Sliding the rear end out into a snow covered stump is not good!!!

 

I have a set of the Douglas Red Label (190's) on my Sport and I am very happy with them. I bought them at Rocky Mountain. I used the factory lugnuts turned backwards with washers under them on the rear. Just to keep from messing up the wheel.

 

Seems to me, I remember Douglas does an additional heat treat cycle....or something to that nature. Like the others said Rocky Mtn is hard to beat.

 

polairgirl let me know what you do. I was lookin at the same rims for my 03 scrambler. Hope you get them. Thanks

 

Unlike Scramblerized i havent dented my Dougy Red's yet. Guess im not riding hard enough. Or he hit all the stumps and we removed them. They are good. Very Very Strong. The only one up is beadlock...Kinda like havin rebar runnin through the rim. Makes it much more rigid but can still nic and bend on the fringe.

 

Or if you are looking for a little added security, go with the Douglas Ultimate .190. They have a rolled edge, with the edge being stronger than the Red .190. A step between the Red's and the bead locks.
