well i bent my second front stocker wheel today. Hit it from the side and smashed it in so now its got a nice whobble to it. SO im wonderin whats the best aftermarket rim i could buy for the price? I dont want to keep putting out 120$ everytime for a new front honda wheel so im going to spend the extra money and buy a set of aftermarkets. im thinkin reienforced rims from ITP or the douglas ones with the OMF ring?? i need opinions!

Hipers or Douglas ultimates

Stockers are some of the strongest out, but if you dont want to buy rims again get the hipers!

i agree that stock honda wheels are extremely strong. if you have bent 2 of them, i would give up aluminum and buy hiper wheels. then at least if you do break one, you can just buy the broken piece for 50 bucks or les instead of buying a whole new wheel

yeah its my second wheel ive went thru. id buy another honda wheel because they are stronger then most .190 wheels anyways, i just dont want it to happen again and do it a 3rd time. ive herd nothin bud good about hypers but dont they whooble at high speeds? i ride a good amount of loggin roads and high speeds.. is it only the backs that do that?

maybe if you had tireballs installed and a few were popped, otherwise ive never heard anyone mention hipers wobbling at high speed

I've never heard of hipers wobbling at any speeds. I would think they would wobble less than anything else, especially aluminum. once you bend aluminum they will wobble... you cant bend a hiper...:confused:

yes, i've heard that hipers are pretty strong,but i've also seen some pics somewhere that the hubs blow up all the time.
