I ride a stock 05 TRX 450r, might do some a arms soon, I want to get new rims and tires, black rims . I mostly ride trails, track only a few times a year. What ones are good. I need input, i dont have much time to do research. Any info is appreciated. What offset do I get? What website sells them?

If you want a rim that will last and has a warranty I would go with the hipers also.

Go with the Hipers. C&D is a great place to deal with.

If money is not a issue can you pick me up a set of HIPERS too?

I would go with the hipers, Black like you want, comes with warranty too!

1 year, but after that, you can buy just whatever piece ya may need to replace, instead of a whole wheel.

Hipers are the way to go man. You can't beat them, I smashed them into trees and all kinds of **** and they are still kickin!

For XC, I've always been fond of Douglas Ultimate billet center.. these rims resist catching an bead edge on rocks, and are about IMO as tough as HONDA OEM rims with the added bling factor.

I'm all about the Hipers! I bought used ones two years ago and the only thing I replaced was the rings. And that was just personal preference!

Ditto

An L shaped root caught the lip of my Ultimate this saturday while I was trail riding.
I actually saw the tire stop dead and skid after it hit the root lol.
There was a big chunk of rubber missing from my razr but the Ultimate rim was untouched =)
Still a bunch of wood stuck in the bead. lol
