I''m thinking of pulling the stock rims and tires off and going with maybe ITP 190 w/Holeshot tires.
Question is should I keep the size that's on there now or go with some other size ?
I do not race. I only goof off on the weekends but want a cool look and good handling.

upgrading is always a good thing, but buying .190s isnt an upgrade...especially getting itp brand rims. your stock rims are stronger then them. if you want something better get rolled edge rims, .190s with rings, or beadlocks. most people stick with 10" up front, and 8" in the back rim size wise. for your riding 20in back tires with 21in fronts will do good.

Not sure yet. I need to price out the new ones first.
I have no clue even what they are worth as this is all new to me.

I'v had and still do a Polaris Scrambler 500 4X4 but it won't stand up in the front like a ex...LOL

By the way the stock rims and tires are brand new. I've rode this thing around the block once since I've had it.
It's been raining everyday since.

To be honest with you the stock rim are alot better than the standard ITP/Douglas .190's. The stock rims have a "rolled edge" where as the the others do not which is more resistant to bends.
I highly reccomend keeping the stock rims and just replace the tires when they wear out:)
I was just looking for a good deal.......

I may just do that then. Thanks for the info.
I was thinking the stock would be crap like the stock polaris rims and tires.

Thanks again,

Just to let you know... new stock rims are close to $200 EACH. ;)
Not worth that much IMO but they came with the quad:)

i have been having problems with my stock rims and the turf tamers i got for them. they keep on poping off the rim.

and yes they were instaled right.........i don't think the stock rims like aftermarket tires.

picked up a set of itp 10" rims, look nice with the 20x11x10 razars i got for them.

Look at the ITP Baja T-9 190's with rings and rolled edge. They are about $95 for the fronts, $90 for the rears. The stock rims do care too much for aftermarket tires, unless you use bead seal like honda did stock.
