I wanna get a set of rolled edge offset wheels but no one makes an offset edge wheel my only option is to go with .190 offset wheel or go with spacers and the stock wheels. I feel the stock rolled edge wheels are stronger than .190's but I have heard wheel spacers are bad on the spindles. Anyone know of a offset rolled edge wheel or maybe I'll go with a set of bead locks I only want to go with 1 inch off set maybe 1.5inch at most do to the type of racing and riding I do. Any info on the wheels or wheelspacers would be appriciated.

Hey Extreme, sorry I didn't get back to you in the other post......about your question, I think that if your going to race alot then I would go with beadlocks or .190's......not that I have had any problems with the front wheelspacers, I just think your probably gonna give yours more abuse than me and if you heard about abusing the spindles then better to be safe than sorry......I used to race too but now I just mess around mostly but sometimes I get a wild hair but not very often(33 yrs old,wife,kids,work blah blah blah)anyway I haven't had any problems and I love the setup I have but I can see under extreme conditions where the spacers could add a little extra tweek to the spindles......hope this helped
