What should I do with these rims?

[Phills450r]

umm i bought these rims not long ago and rockymountain said they would hold up to mx racing.. well with these rims on i haven't cased anything.. if i did.. it wasnt even harsh enough to feel it.. i have like 3 races on these rims and a few practices and they already look like this.. anyone think i could get something from them? they are douglas .190s red label

[Pappy]

hang it on the wall

[z4evr]

Dang they look even rougher than i thought!!! Im with the guy above me, hang em up. Maybe you can find a good deal on some beadlocks or just go to rocky mountain and get some stronger rims. Its hard to believe those .190s bent so easily!

[Phills450r]

I would piss on them before hanging them on my wall.. whoever buys the tires can have the rims for free.. they hold air but don't know how much longer..

I was beating it today with like a 15lb adjustable wrench.. they wouldn't move :-/ they are nasty

[Mxjunkie]

I had to beat mine back every 4-5 lap's at breezewood..

Mine ended up cracking in 2 spot's per wheel from them bending so much :p

[hondarider2006]

I bought the red labels also....and they did the same thing. I can't remember how many times I have had to beat mine back out with a rubber mallet....Definetly not strong enough to race MX:bandit:

[shano]

Holy crap, what the hell do you ride on!?

Ive had my red lables for a year and a half and dont have 1 dent in any of them..:)

take them to the local recycling place and maybe get a few bucks for them, thats all there worth.

I wrecked some douglas wheels in 4 laps. Are douglas beadlocks anygood? Or should I get OMF?

LMSAO hahahaha!!!

[bansheexcracer2]

I will pay to ship them if you give them too to me. My buddies did the same thing.

just out of curiosity (sp?) how much airpressure was in the tires

[redlineranger]

back in the day when i had the 300ex, i bent both back stockers.. and thought about welding the holes shut and all that and using it for a food bowl for my dog..... i wound up just trashin em. next time i bend anything im gonna save all of it and build a shop chair or something like that. that could be an idea for you.

[DJJ450r]

i was running 6-7 psi in them

[Moto49X]

I cant see how anybody can run a non-beedlock for MX and NOT bend them, if you actually ride hard! I ran a set of those back in 2002 for the first and only time on my Cannondale, they looked exactly like that after about 4-5 laps of practice.
