i just wrecked my front raptor's rim. Can i get a replacement by itp or douglas? i would like a rim with the same offset as stock, otherwise, i may have to buy 2. Also, what are the stock rims, steel, or aluminum? What rims should i buy...the .125's or the .160's? i need cheap. thanks

use a magnet to tell if they are alum or steel. i would buy 190.
i would just buy 2 wheels they arent that expensive and they come chrome so it just wont match with a stock and douglas or itp wheel. just buy 2 .190's.

stock raptor wheels are aluminum. i bought itp .190's with my holeshot tires and dont like them at all. they bend way too easily, and a .125 or .160 rim would bend much more easily because the aluminum is thinner. You are going to end up spending a lot more money in the long run if you buy the rims you mentioned because the rims won't last you as long as the stockers, believe me. either splurge and buy the rolled edge design rims by douglas or itp (the stockers have rolled edges, which is what makes them stronger) or get on ebay and find a used stock raptor rim for cheap. that would probably be your best bet. i had my stock rims on my quad for about 6 months before i got the new tire and rim combo and they never bent even after repeatedly hitting rocks etc. the itp's have been on the quad for about a month and a half and all four have at least one bend in them, and i havent even been in any rocky areas! DONT BUY A RIM WITHOUT A ROLLED EDGE. hope this info helps you out.
