Quick question. I want to get the mudlite xl wheel kit for my bruin. The delta steel rim and the type 5/7 rim are priced very different. Do the type 7 rims perform better then the delta steel rims? Are they more durable, or do they just look better. If the type 7 series rim is a better built rim then the extra $100+ would be worth it. If it performs the same and only looks better then I would not consider getting them. delta steel kits are $400...series 4 rims $500 and type 5 or 7 will run me 542..
Thanks in advance for any help.

 

The deltas are steel, the 4/5/6/7 type c-series are aluminum. Weight is the main issue, and for anyone short of a hardcore rock crawler I wouldnt worry about the durability of the aluminum wheels.

 

I have steel rims now, so for me it sounds like a decision of paying more to look better..unless the itp steel are heavier then my stock ones..

 

Wow... I contacted a local dealer and they charge $30 to mount a tire on a SINGLE rim. That is crazy, they have to be crooks, dont tell me this is normal?!?! Your better off getting wheel kits for that price.
although...I should call the local tire shop..

 

I heard that walmart will mount a tire on a rim for $10 each. Just something I heard, i dont know if its true.

 

Sounds about right, no auto walmarts up here but I did find a garage that will do it for $10/each
