price diff is about 20 to 30 dollars... just really looking for feed back

The T-9's have a rolled lip. They are a bit stronger at the outside edges.

You may want to look at some rims with reinforcing rings though if you're in a lot of rocky stuff.

i have t-9's. they hold up great. i bent one of them because i slid into a rock, but that was pretty hard, would have bent anything

I don't have personal experience with the ITP's though I do with the Douglas and I would strongly advise you to go with DWT. I know numerous people on here and in person that have bent multiple ITP rims, even the GP series with the rolled lip. To me anyways, I hear a lot more negatives regarding ITP wheels than I ever do about DWT.

The regular T9's do not have a rolled lip. Only the GP versions do.

well i went ahead and got the Balck ITP rims and kenda Klaws XC

the price diff was only 20 bucks itp black VS the Douglas and 10 dollars diff itp polished vs douglas

i also currently have 2 font and 4 rear doglas 190 rims, so if i have to i can switch. but my experience with douglas is that they bend, granted i am runnign an MX set up with lower profile tires and riding on XC terrain that is rocky. thisis why i am upgrading to bigger tires on these new rims. even tho my douglas rims are bent and dinged up they still hold the tire and air fine and not that i have a second set of rims i can take them off the quad and straighten them all out...
