Sorry, but NO WAY are stock steel rims anywhere near as good as 190 aluminum. . I don't understand where you are coming from with that.

just some thoughts...not meant to get you all fired up...I bend all my rims on the ground entering corners harder than I ought and hitting rocks that I should miss all together...This is my experience and I'm offering it to you as help...I am unfamiliar with stock polaris rims, however Yam, Hon etc all have very well built stock wheels...are you concerned about weight or strength? From what it sounds like you can't make either work...

No, what I said is that the 190's have worked very very well. I'm not sure how it is with other brands. Maybe that is the case there. In my case, there was no comparison whatsoever between the stocks and the 190's.
I wasn't getting fired up. Don't particularly care to be called an idiot by someone who is wrong. If you are going to make blanket statements or you're going to turn this into some sort of name calling excersise...at least be right.

Trust me, ITP .190's aren't any better. Most every Cannondale owner can tell you that. Most of the Cannondale owners are racers too though so just about every one of us have bent the **** out of the stock ITP's. My rear Douglas .190's have held up much better than the ITP's but either way, rolled edge is the way to go. These flat edge wheels suck no matter what kind they are.

I never called you an idiot....you idiot...I went and saw a gypsie friend of mine and had her put a hex on your rims...any rim you ever bend from now on is because of this hex think of me fondly next time...
try rolling your quad around on your thick round skull, I'm sure it's way to thick to bend

Thanks for the nice reply mr raptor. Actually, I wasn't referring to your post.
Perhaps someday I can ding my rims on my new Predator as I drive over your piece of junk.
Actually, this is kind of fun. Keep em coming.

I'll put my douglas w/outer bead-locks and inner re-enforcing rings up against any stock rim
If people would just buck up with the bucks the first time,they could be like me and enjoy years of trouble free wheels (mine are 6 years old) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The ITP wheels on the Cannondales are .160 and they are weak as hell. A standard .190 from ITP is about 19% thicker, and I would assume stronger by about the same percentage, give or take. The only 2 ways I know of to make a wheel significantly stronger is by rolling the lip, or better yet, adding a reinforcing ring. Anyway, I've had both brands and I have to say that among similarly priced wheels from either company they are both about the same. If you really believe that the rims were out of true when you got them you should complain to douglas. As far as the tire iron thing I probably wouldn't mention that one to douglas- it won't help your case.
