I'm thinking about black wheels. I like the ITP SS series, but I don't like covering up my hubs, which it looks like they do, unless that center piece on them pops out. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I don't like black aluminum wheels because they get beat up pretty good after a couple good rides. Or atleast in the woods they do, maybe not so bad in sand. I like the polished aluminum look.

It would all be sand riding, they would hold up fine. Being at school, and staring at pictures of my bike give me all kinds of ideas

I like motosport alloy wheels better than the others but they hide the hubs. Ever thought of powdercoating the ones you have black? What I would do is take that blue color and do the outside of the wheel that color, kind of like a pin stripe in a way and the rest black, it would look sick IMO

Black wheels would look good and will hold up just fine but what's wrong with covering the hubs?

I just like the look of having the blue hubs to accent that area. I'm probably going to get new front tires too, the buffs don't bite too well haha

They do alright. Theres just some gnarly sidehills up some razorbacks that I ride and when I turn, the bike doesnt. I'm going to switch to the Skat fronts with the semi spine

To be honest, I would just go with regular black aluminum wheels on the front and all black beadlocks in the back.

I'm not into all these new kinds of wheels they have out now.

Beadlocks always look awesome and having normal aluminum wheels on the front like you have now are fine since they're light and the sand doesn't dent them or anything.

Your quad is INSANE and putting the new school "busy" wheels will take away from what it is. Stick with some wheels that say you mean business and keep things looking clean.

If you want to get into details you could anodize the beadlock bolts blue to match the quad. It would look perfect imo.

Anyhoo nice quad man! :cool:
