Im looking to get either Hi-Pers or OMF beadlocks sometime soon. Which is better? And Why?
Oh Yea their going to go on ITP SX's ;)
there both good its just ones alot more money than the other and your saving a few pounds. i personlly like the omfs better.
hipers dont show scratches and gouges like the metal wheels .
But with the OMF's I'll still have to buy a rim ???
Arent the hipers on a carbon fiber wheel also??
what you just said made no sence. lol
I was trying to say $125 for 1 OMF Beadlock arent a bad price :-\
But Hi-Pers are $355 for a pair of 8X8 rears
so get what ever ones you like.
i would go with the hipers because they look good, their light, and if u hit something they will bend back to normal instead of being bent all the way.

Yea thats true. But im still thinking about which one will be better for the long run :-\
Get the hipers.
1) They are lighter
2) They are stronger
3) They are modular
that means if you break a piece of it you dont have to replace the whole wheel
I used to run aluminum wheels....Not anymore
HIPERS, they are the only way to go, I have trashed lots of other beadlocks,,, and the hipers I have only had to replace one and they covered it under warranty...
Hipers crack, aluminms won't.
I have been racing HIPERS for 3 years now in all kinds of rock, stump, and tree filled XC courses I ride very hard and very fast and I have only cracked one, I have trashed at least 4 beadlock aluminum wheels before I dropped the money on HIPERS...
Just get one. :P They both look good :-\
Well it doesnt look good for you because you got a C on your report card :D
Go with HiPer!!
They are well worth the money...like Pledger said - My husband and I run HiPer's (FTR & GNCC) - they take a beating - and are amazing!!
Oh and depending on the crack...HiPer does have a warranty on their wheels and their customer service is second to NONE!!!
Go with HiPer - they are the last set of wheels you will ever need to buy!!!!

I'll have to look at them again and see which one will get to be on my quad ;)

LOL.................Chillen your too funny :R
You guys know what's the thickness of a stock rim??? Im thinking .130's
stock rims are stronger than most .190s.
in my opinion, i THINK none of the top pro's run hipers because they crack,which would not let you finish a race. aluminum on the other hand won't crack just bent or warp which would give a pretty mean wobble but you can prbably finish the race,even to just get points instead of DNF. like i said my opinion, it is what I think. i am probably wrong, just my angle.
Get the most expensive set who cares how they look or work. you could at least say my rims cost as much as half your bike.
So im probably going to get the scalloped OMF beadlocks with Douglas .190's ;)
had 2 sets of Hypers and there far from light wheels.....I have ONF's now...but I dont know what the differens is...in weight
dude u got enough money to get hipers... i have hipers and i love them they are soo light i picked 1 up out of the box and i didnt even know i picked it up.... and i havent had anyproblems yet.... i spent 800 on all 4 rims
