wheels for mx track

[sunco]

My kids have a 250ex & a 300 ex. They want 18" tires - we have kenda kalw mxr. I think the size is 18x8.5x9. We used them on a honda 90
we are looking for a inexpensive rim to fit the tires. what should we get? Dont want to spend big bucks. we dont race.

douglas .190

douglas 160. wheels are pretty hot too

DO NOT get .160s, there junk. I folded some in 4 laps. Get .190s at the least. Or save money in the long run and never ever have to buy rims again and buy beadlocks.

buy .190 8 in. high and 8 in. wide

Thanx. I have the baja 's w/ all the holes around the sides ( their set up w/ all 22" tires for trails) I didn't like the way the stem was to fill with air so I cut out one of the circles so it was easier to fill the tire up. Is it the higher the # the thicker the rim? 190's are what 50-70 bucks each?

190s will fold up too. Hipers are the only solution to no replacements. Beadlocks are a must in the rear IMO.

In my opinion the stock honda wheels are stronger than the douglas or itp standard wheels. I bent up a set of itp wheels that came on my quad the first week.

I late got a set of stock 400ex rear wheels for 60$ that have held up MUCH better. I use them as my trail riding tires. Then I bought a set of used douglas beadlocks that have held up nicley also for my race tires, they where 200$

If I ever buy another wheel againg it will be a hiper for the fact taht they wont bend




In your case I vote stock wheels.

I have hipers on my 450R. I'm not as impressed as most people seem to be & the reason is when I bought them new the threaded brass gromet pulled out & I didn't reach the correct torque specs yet. After finally getting more parts I had to separate the wheel .... I paid good $ & I shouldn't have to do the work they should have took back the old(new) ones & sent my 2 new ones. I'm not buying these wheels for my kids stuff unless I hit the lottery. Stock wheels are good but not @ dealer prices. Hence my post about what is inexspensive & good.

Get a used set of douglas beadlocks than. I have a few sets of Hiper wheels and have never had a problem. when buying Hipers new they come with a warranty. I forget how long it is though. I never needed it. Ebay is your best bet for a decent set of wheels either new or used.

Sunco this is who i ride for give them a call or order parts online. tell them Kevin with the 450R sent you. Mike is a great guy!

look into stockers off ebay, douglas yellow labels,or ITP Bajas thay all should be under $100 per rim.
