My front rims (stockers) are pretty messed up.. they aren't even, and are really scuffed etc.. So I'm in the market for some new ones. I know that Douglas .190's are good, but I want something different. I like the ITP C-series, black would be really cool. Does anyone have any pictures of an EX with c-series on? Are they good?
Also, whats the point of Baja wheels? do they add strength?

guess you havent rode the tires off the front rims yet have you?
thats why u need front beadlocks, when you run low air pressure or ride really hard. but some of the pros dont run them bc of weight savings on a mx track

ya i realise thats what they're for, but i dont ride hard. sometimes i do but not to the point of the tires rolling off the rims.

I have the polished Baja's and so far there great, here's a pic. These wheels are about $95.00 a rim from Rocky Mountain, I bought mine as a kit with the tires.

you dont have to ride that hard to roll tires off the wheel...take from somebody who had that expierence last week;)
and for your wheels go HiPer and save yourself money in the long run

If u get the black rims does the powedercoat really stay on when ur bashing throught the trails?
