I just got my new 400 last week and I already bent a rim. I bent the left front rim pretty bad, unfixable. I am gonna have to get a new one. I dont know whether to pay the 110 for the stock wheel or pay around 170 for the package deal in RM for doouglas 190s and save the good stock rim for spare. What should I do?

Also, what front tires should i go with? I do a lot of gravel, pavement, trails, and open fields. I need something that wont wear out fast on pavement. Should I go with stock sizes or change?

umm the razrs are good all around tires, but in some situations they hook up to much, and im not sure how they wear on pavement cause im not as stupid as most of the kids around me, doing wheelies on roads and such....


i only do doughnuts in ppls yards... hahaha im jk.


o yeah, the douglas rims are good, i have had 6 sets of them, they hold up fairly well, but take alot of maintainance to still look new, (polishing) but some dirtbike hit the side of me going like 3rd pinned (i swirved, and it was me rear) and it put a minor dent about .5" long and maybe .1" deep nothing major at all, i had problems finding it.. hahah, but they are alot heavier than stock, and that might affect your abbility to wheely.. but just my two pennies. lata
