quad rocks are sweet but expensive, what type of riding do you do?

if you strictly dune i would get the dougles blue label, super light.
If your a rocky rider i would get someting with a good rim guard.

and also make sure you get the dish correct.

I don't know how the other guys feel about 'em, but I have bought 2 sets of plain 'ol Douglas red label .190's now, ran 21x7x10 Holeshots & 20x10x10 Holeshot XCR's on my 400ex and now have same exact rims 21x7x10 Razr2 & 20x11x10 Razr2 rears on my 250r. I'm not afraid to beat the tar out of it, and they haven't made me regret my decision.

Of course I'd rather have beadlocks or rim guard rings, but I also like that extra weight of money in my pocket too.

i bet you would also feel better bending or breaking a set of douglas' than a set of carbon fiber bead locks. lol

If you're not racing where you are constantly bumping into other stuff, you don't need beadlocks. I used to always run the douglas red labels .190 with great luck. I just order a new set of wheels/tires for my quad and this time I went with the ITP t-9 .190. They were just a hair cheaper than the douglas were and seem to be every bit as tough.

yeah just a trail set, xcr are going to go on them. maybe i'd be better off with the red label rims.

not to hi-jack the thread BUT...

What is everyones experience with blue labels for duning? i was thinking of getting a set with some haulers. i was just worried about bending them when jumping.
