wheels
im curious is there really a big weight difference with the hammerhead mag aluminum wheels vs the stock steel wheels. Of course I love the look of the aluminum wheels, but I know there supposed to be lighter but by how much? and are they weak or good quality? I was also looking into the douglas .190 wheels. Just looking and waiting to here some feedback before I order.

I don't know the exact weights but the Douglas .190's are at least 40% less the weight of a stock steel of the same size. That's a chunk of un-sprung weight being shed there and that's a good thing!
They hold up very well. I'm sure sooner or later I'll bend one but it will have to be a hit that would bend most any wheel. |

yeah im trying to find out what the exact size rim my hammerhead uses. the douglas rims have all different sizes looking for a 10x10 rear with a 10x8 up front but I cant remember what the bolt pattern, and what the backspacing is
