    Request for Information - HiPer Utilities

    As some of you are already aware, we at HiPer are looking into producing new wheels for the Utility Quads. We are in the process of wrapping up our market research and are looking for some additional opinions and comments prior to wrapping this up. What we would like to know from any utility dealers and/or riders out there is what is the most common size, ie: 12x7, 12x8 etc…, beadlocks or no beadlocks, preferred offsets, average cost, and any other comments or ideas that you feel we would need to consider regarding this line of wheels.

    Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated! We look forward to breaking into the utility market in the near future.

    Thanks,
    Angie Coulter

    12x7 are the most common with a 5+2 offset. This offset is suppose to be close to stock size, but the way they measure there offset, they still make the utility 2" wider. A true 5+2 the way you at Hiper make your offsets should work great. What bolt patterns do you plan on making? I would think a single beadlock would work great.

    I emailed Hiper last year about producing these........I believe these will be a big hit! Lighter weight to allow the suspension to work better. As far as bolt patterns go I guess it would be a modular set up so they would be changable?

    I look forward to seeing these released, as my new UTE will be getting some of those!

    So what is the story on these wheels? Are they going into production for the 2006 race season?

    I'll buy a set for my 800 Outlander if they are the stock offset.
