Why do people get aftermarket hubs? Are they lighter? Stronger? Do they really help with anything?

Rpm and hardcore hubs use tapered bearings. Those bearings last forever on quads. That and they look better.

tapered bearings as stated and they are lighter in weight and just look better overall imho

I like those hubs.. They look good on both quads pictured... They look EXTREMELY good with those HiPer beadlocks.. I want a set of those wheels.

I agree they look awesome with the hipers. But they still look good with stock wheels.

Heres one of my quad. The round center part of the wheel kills the looks but. I think the itp's are more open in the middle now like stock.

I like your quad too man, very nice. Where'd you get your rear wheels? I love the way they look aswell (Needless to say : I love the way beadlocks look.) Do you know of any place I can find those wheels cheap? Thanks man. I may look into getting some hubs for my EX.

My motor builder had them laying around. They dont look that great up close but there plenty strong and i've never had any problems out of them. They are just champion beadlocks. You could probly find a set on ebay or here between 100-150 dollars.

Cool, thanks man. I see you have a custom oil tank, correct? How does it work for you?? Is the capacity increased any? What benefits do you have with a custom tank?

It holds an extra quart. Havent had any problems. And it sure don't hurt having more oil.
