I just bent one of my stock front rims on my 400EX. I think I am just going to put a set of Douglas rims on the front now but I am not sure if I should go with the 160 or the 190. I do some trail riding and quite abit of drag racing. Which would be good for me and what is the difference. Also were is a good place to buy the rim and tire combo, I think I'm going to go with holeshot XC for tires. Thanks for any help

Go with 190 if you ride in the woods. The cheapest is probly rocky mountain but the shipping wont be cheap. Might just want to call around to like moto man and magic racing or carbids because i found there shipping is cheaper because they are closer. In some cases they mey not be because rockymountain has such cheap prices.

yea, you should definitly go with .190, get them from Dennis Kirk, they will beat any price by a buck, including shipping;)

Another option is the Douglas rolled edge wheels! They are much stronger than the .190's but are a little more expensive.

I don't even see why they make .160. Those things are so wimpy. I got them for my paddle tires, thinking its just sand it won't bend them.

Everytime I ride with my paddles I taco the .160 rims.

I would get the .190`s or the OMF Rims with the Rings.

you would be better off with the billet centers with a rolled edge .
