im going to be doing a bit of mx and the tracks are sand and and soft dirt so i thought i wouldnt need the strongest rims on the market like hypers so between these just wondering which would be better (they are the same price)

thanks

i wouldnt get those for mx!! i have the t-9 .190 and my friend has the red lablend and we both got then not even 6 months ago and one of mine is bent and they the both chewed up really bad. his arent as bad but they r still pritty bad. but i will say that my fronts r holding up fine but i would still spend the extra money and get some beadlocks.

atleast get the douglas rolled lip
if u want a good cheap set up u could get burgard beadlocks in the rear and the douglas rolled lip in the front

you should not use standard rims for mx at all ITP or Douglas you should look into a Rolled edge rim or like a ITP baja rim.

yea i was originally thinking bajas all around with +2 a arms and an extended axle but then i found out im going to be too busy to justify that much money when im gonna be able to ride a track once or twice a month if im lucky, i also do a lot of trail riding and switching all that stuff over between tracks and trails would be too much of a chore, also the jumps arent huge and it is sand...

thanks for al lthe help so far
