Hiper wheels??????

[Soldier 425]

hey guys got a couple little questions. Im looking at buying a whole set of hiper rims. on there site there are 2 kinds im really intreasted in and they are the tech 3s or the cf1a wheels. which is better?? also im getting the gncc itp holeshot tires for the rims. I race the harescrambles so i was thinking getting the 21 11 by 9 tires for the rear and 22 7 10 for the front. Should i get a 10 by 9 rim to help flaten out my tires. or if i get the size i have now 20 10 9 rear and 21 7 10 fronts be better with flattening it out with a bigger rim?

Get the tech 3's. I race xc and use 21x7x10 and 20x11x9. PM me for the best price.

what offsets do you need to maintain the stock width of 48.8"?

[02bwraptor]

2x3 front and 4x5 rear.

Ok i found a really nice size off rims i like. The size are 10 by 5 in the front with an offset of 4/1. The rears are 9x9 with an offset of 4/5 in the rear. My question is how will the rim with a 4x1 offset in the front be all that different then the stock offset of 2x5? an anwser quickly would be helpful. thx

stock front rims are 10x5 with off set 2x3. You can get hipers or most any after market rims in 10x5 with offset 4x1 or 3x2 not 2x5. The 4x1 off set will give you arround an inch narrow in the front.

why are you gonna waste your money on beadlocks? are the rears dual or single beadlock?

[02bwraptor]

Tech 3 are dual and cf1 are single. Beadlocks are not a waste of money. Have you not finished a race due to a tire coming of the bead? I have and I haven't raced without beadlocks since than.

waste money on beadlocks? lol, in xc beadlocks are almost a necessity. seen many people not finish the race because of bent rims or tires coming off the bead.

yeah i just raced the roush creek ama harescramble and destroyed my tires and rims with the rocks. I want to buy these expensive rims once and never worry about them again.

been racing 4 years, never had a flat or bead come off. IMO, they are a waste.

If not for the extra strength they are worth it just for how much easier it is to change tires with bead locks. Take the ring off and the tire comes right off.

Also if you have tire balls you don't have to run air in your tires and the bead lock helps hold the tire on.

I got the dual bead lock cf3s with billet centers in the rear and the cf1 with the carbon fiber centers single beadlock fronts

Ive had the same set now for 8 years of xc racing. Hiper wheels were the best investment I made back then. Never have had an issue with them.
