Bent rear stock rims at open practice last Sunday. Now looking for tires an rims. Going to start running an mx setup
An wondering if the ITP pro-lock or Trac-Lock rims wheels are any good?

An thinking about running 18' tires but I don't know what they look like on 8in rims? Any pics of your rear tire setup would be greatly appreciated.. Trying to get the the rear end not so tiny lookin if you know what I mean

JMHO....... ive been racing MX since the mid 90's.... and i've always ran 18" on an 8in rim. the only exception was mud races and id throw on my stockers. "tiny look"= lower center of gravity. which lets you rail turns alot fast, and not being so 'tippy'. If your going to be raicng MX, 18's on 8in rim is the only way to travel. now as far as the ITP rims go.... i've never ran them. Ive got douglas wheels that ive been running forever, but again if your serious about racing, beadlocks are a must. hope this helps.
