The stock rims are very good rims, better than the regular ITP's or Douglas. They have a 'rolled edge' that the others don''t. You can buy aftermarket rims with the rolled edge but the cost mrre.

Steel rims are stronger but much heavier.

.120, .160 and .190 is the thickness of the metal the rims are made of. Higher the number the thicker and stronger.

Stock rims are 9x8 on the rear and 10x5.5 on the front. When buying rims the first number is the diameter and the second number is the width.

When buying tires the first number is the overall hieght, the second number is the tread width and the third number is the bead diameter. The last number of the tire HAS to match the first number of the rim.

9x9 is fine for the rear but for the front im sure u want something like a 10x5. i would get the .190 aluminum wheels they look better and are stronger than the steel wheels.(the .190s are also stronger than .120s and .160s)
