If im correct the .125s arent that strong and are for just normal trail riding. I read that the .190s are the ones that are like stock strength. correct me if im wrong.

Neither are stronger than OEM...but .190 is darn close...if your going to get new rims go with .190s...

I wouldn;t recommend then unless you are riding in the Dunes. ANything other then that the are a bad Idea. Much to thin and they bend very easy compared to .190s

Stock wheels are stronger than most aftermarket wheels.

The douglas Ultimate wheels are a GREAT rim. They have the rolled edge like the stockers, and i think are better rims period.

Not flameing but riding the dunes is hard on them too. I have ripped the center out of my Black Labels twice and have to pound out the flat spots after every ride.

.125s suck, get at least .190s or stick with stock

.125 is for drag racing. the strongest non beadlock or reinforced rims your gonna find are stock.

i like the stock wheel's also but $195 each at my local dealer is a little much for stock wheels. i can get 190's for less money or for a little more get bead locks.
