I would get the hipers .... the weight savings would be worth it alone.

If you like the shine of aluminum, obviously go with the Douglas rims. Otherwise, from my experience with the two (Douglas Ultimate Billet Beadlocks & HiPers), I would recommend the HiPers. I do not know much about MX, but I race and abuse my HiPers on XC races... And to date no problems.:) Plus they come with a one year warranty!:cool:

I could be wrong, but I think the Douglas Ultimate Billet Beadlocks and the HiPer rims are close in price.

Note: A couple of things I like about the Douglas Billet rims is that they have the countersunk lug nut holes and they hold their shine very well!:cool:

Good luck!

Well i have had them both. The hipers seemed to clean easier were more durable and had a warranty. I really like them better than any tims i ever had. But the douglas look better with ths shine and everything. so my overall would be the hipers but with little tires instead of huge ones.
