ITP .190 or Douglas .190 ???

[Scott400EX]

Which wheel is stronger and performs better.

I dont wanna start a war over this just a simple question!!!

[Quadfather]

Douglas claims they put theirs through an extra step to make them stronger than the competitors. I had both. I believe Douglas' claims from experience.

Quadfathar is right the red label are a lot better rim. I hated my ITPs. They would bent easy, lose all the time, And they don't have the roll edge, so if you spin the side of the rim agaisnta rock or some thing it will shearthe lip off.

I was posting this because i just bought some ITP .190 I guess ill use em till they brake and then get some ultimate beadlocks

[QuadTrix6]

good to hear i got red labels on the way :D

[Extremeracer167]

Douglas Ultimate standard wheel is VERY VERY tough. Stronger then any other aluminum rim ive ever rode with. Prob. even stronger then the stockers. I might have a brand new set for sale here in a few days.

I have ITP .190 w/ offset on the front and they are banged up quite a bit after just a few rides.

How are those ITP .190 race wheels with that reinforcing ring?

[Quadfather]

I just got OMF Race Rims. They are a Douglas .190 rim with reinforcing rings.

[dad400ex]

I understand that Doudlas uses a better grade of alum. to make their rims,and they don't leak at the center where they're welded and sealed like ITP's do.I have both and Douglas .190 are the brand of choice.9x9 with rings for rear and 10x7 beadlocks for fronts(got a deal on them).

[Predator36]

I seem to find a way to bend any wheel. And I realy dont like reinforcing rings as they hold more dirt than I have time to wash out. Maybe if I learned how to ride?? Douglas has worked better for me.

My Douglas' are stuck on my rear hubs.. :mad:

[Scott400EX]

I ended up getting the new T-9s with holeshot MX 18s and 19s and they look and work great and IMO look better than the older ITPs and dougies. ill try and get some pics up soon but if ya wanna see em NOw go look in a dirtwheels or atvaction mag there in there.

I had the itp rims they sucked so I went with douglas rims.I like them so far.

[luvmyex]

Scott,How long have you had those?Are they a rolled edge also?

[Scott400EX]

iv ehad em since mid december. they do not have a rolled edge but they are different that the older ones. these have a better retaining edge than the older ones. they are great!!!! no probs yet

Douglas Ultimate billet Beadlocks....money well spent! After a hard summer of riding...polished em, replaced a ring and they are like new again.

Douglas customer service is EXCELLENT! Very impressive for a larger manufacturer.
