remind me to get pics of my JUNK stock Honda rims. I had better luck with ITP 190's than the Honda wheels up front. I have trashed every stock wheel you could pu on my 400. I've got wheels that look like the ones in the pic above(slightly exaggerrated) I have one that doesn't look like it ever was a wheel, more like an egg.

Do you guys run air in your tires?? and do you AIM for the big rocks...lmfao

I rode a XC race for 1.5 hours with a flat front tire and yeah the rim got beat up but I didn't destroy it...:huh

the rims aren't the only thing messed up in the pic, see my pic below, i pointed to it w/ an arrow so its obvious, i think this is why the rims are bent

Looks like he tried to cross a railroad track at about 90mph, not at a crossing, either!

Only real problems I've had with stock rims is that the fronts just LOVE to wedge rocks in between them and the brake calipers. Makes a real quick turn when that happens! Yeah, they bend, but stock rims are pretty good considering they're "stock".

LOL..... been there done that! Then you usually get a dent where the rock wedged in. You have to take the tire off and knock the dent out with a ball peen hammer or it will happen again in the same spot!

DOH!
