[chrisc75]

[exrider008]

im geting the black ITP T-9 bajas they look really good and r real nice rims.

It depends on your budget. If you have the money I would say Hipers, Bajas are okay, or you could just go with the T-9 Pro in black.

i have the polished baja's so far they have been holding up great.

[mdidonne]

I have ITP Pro Baja's, and they are holding up great.

u mean the pro locks dont u cus theres no such thing as pro baja's.

[400exstud]

Baja's are nice and you don't have to rob the bank to get them.

Racing Rice the reason why i thought they didnt have no such thing is cus i bought mine through rocky mountain and in there cataloge they just have ITP baja's not the pro baja's like in the motosport cataloge .sorry if i misunderstood you.

[Racing Rice]

No problem, just clearing things up a little.:D I think the Baja, and Pro Baja are the same thing. When I said T-9 Pro I was actually refering to the plain .190 T-9 Pro wheel in black (maybe only the GPs come in black, I'm not sure).

Pro is just ITP T-9 race wheel line.

No I mean ITP Pro Baja's, There are Baja's and Pro Baja's, Check out www.motosport.com. or www.ronnies.com. I ordered my ITP Pro Baja's with XCR's from Ronnies.

I just got some new wheels for my 660 and want to know if I need to put the cover plates back on when installing the new wheels.(the plate i am talking about can be seen when looking at the stock wheels and has all the holes in it)

actually.. i believe theyre one and the same..

baha's are listed in the "pro" series of wheel, but their title doesnt actually have "pro" in it..

my plan is to buy them here:

ITP's sport aluminum wheels are c-series, .190, bajas, and beed locks. There are not many diversions off of those. Baja's are Baja's and nothing else.

what kind of riding do you do?...b/c if you just ride dunes or light trails or something like that theres no point of getting hipers

I dunno man, my stock wheels are scratched to crap from trail riding. They have BIG gashes in them. I'm surprised they aren't bent yet with some of the stumps and rocks I've hit.

PLUS, if you get a flat while your trail riding the beadlocks keep the tires from trying to seperate from the rim, it makes it easier to get back to the truck or the house. :)

[roundsy]

you americans must be crazy drivers..haha jk...my stock wheels have always held up but if i ever got rims they would be beadlocks for what i do, i understand the stockers might not be holding up but you also have lots of more economical choices before you go right out to hipers unless that is the extremem riding that you do

[Racing Rice]

Hey, WOT is the only way to roll. :D The way I see it, if I bend two sets of rims then I just spent what I would have paid for hipers, so I'll just get hipers to start and won't worry about it.

I know what your saying though, I put a lot of thought into it because I didn't want to spend the money. I looked around and found a barely used set of $550 shipped. I don't think I did to bad. :)

[roundsy]

now i can see where your coming from, when ya get a deal like that...lol...all i have been doing is going around and buying them stock rims off of people for cheap so they have some $$$ again after they go out and buy new wheels...like i payed $110 CND for a rear set of 400ex rims with 40% tires...i think i did pretty well too considering stock rims are a lot stronger than some of the aftermarket rims out there that cost $110 CND a piece

hipers are your best bet if you want something you will never need to replace, you can pick up used sets for a decent price, or get them new if need be
