Money being not an object. What are the best rims for XC? What make them good or bad?

Hiper, ITP T-9 track lock or OMF Beadlocked?

My guess would be hiper since they offer dual beadlocks.

i wish i was speaking from experience, but just by looking at them, Hipers are the obvious choice. being carbon fiber, they take hits and absorb them, instead of bending. they are also very light weight and offer dual beadlocks. hipers also have replaceable parts just in case something does go wrong, you wont have to replace the entire rim. i photoshopped some hipers onto mine.. i'll keep dreaming. :D

I would go with the Hiper all the way man. If not those it would have to be bead locker.

I absolutely love your quad. I have a question through, what makes you want to buy rims before you get suspension or build your quad up? Not flaming on you or anything. i just dont see spending like 650 on rims, that is nuts unless you already have everything else done.

and they'll have to come next year im hoping because now im broke lol. Yea sometimes you gotta wait for all the good stuff to come, I myself am getting a bit lower in cash but not dangerously low, I still have to buy an axle and brake lines to go along with my Roll front end im getting for christmas other than that thats about all im getting which is more than enough for me.
