Question about MX wheels.

[RIDER11X]

Want to buy a set of 18" rear ITP MXR's for mx racing and was wondering how well .125 Douglas wheels will hold up to this type of usage, or if I need to go with a stronger wheel.:confused2

Depends on if your one of these begginers that jump no longer than 10ft, or if you have got some skill and clear the 75ft tripples. If you are a begginer and your trying this out for the first time they will work OK:ermm: If you are say an int. or jr. rider than hell no, there is no way. If I was going to be putting out the money for new wheels and tires, spend the extra money. For MX, Red label is the only way to go. Hope this helps.

ITP holeshot MX tires are the best, Oh Yea ;)

Thanks! I'm a woods racer/rider that likes to play around with local obstacle course races, but I weigh in at 260.Which one is Red Label?

[blood red]

Red label is the thickest aluminum rim that Douglas makes. There is blue: .125 Black: .165 and red: .190 I think that is correct. But if your woods riding and you hit a root with .125's, Lets just say your going to have to buy a new rim. At 260, your going to want red labels. Good Luck

Go with .190's

YOu will destroy a set of .125's for sure...go with .190's...;)
