This may have been covered before, but here goes:

(A) Razr on OEM wheels = $269.64 plus time or cost of mounting on OEM wheels. Then repeat when these need to be replaced.

Versus

(B) ITP Holeshots from Rocky Mountain with Douglas .190 10" wheels, delivered ready to bolt on = $312. Then use any 10" tire when they need to be replaced.

What would you do and why?

The 11" wheels and tires will get cheaper. High prices should be expected on newly released item and aftermarket parts. When my stock ones wear by April or May I'm sure the prices will have come down a bit. I will more than likely then get a set of aftermarket 11" rims and tires.

The extra rim height and stiffer lower profile tire setup would be more predictable on the trails then a 10" rim with 22's. With the added power of my build lowering the lower gearing of a shorter tire would not desirable either so considering 10/20 or 10/21 isn't an option. Also 10" rims with 22's would more than likely require beadlocks for some hard action with these bigger quads.

I have the ITP wheels but with paddles mounted on them. As soon as I get the beads set I'll post up some pics.

I have two sets of front and rear stock tires though, so when those wear out I'll be looking for tire replacements for stock wheels. But it being so cold out and me being a candyass I haven't been riding much. I don't mind getting wet and muddy except when it's cold.
