Rim For Scrambler

I am looking for new aluminum rims for my Scrambler. Anyone know where the best place to get them is? And what kind??

Serious question, Dave. Why do you want new rims for the Scrambler?

One thing I can tell you is they MUST have a rolled edge on the aluminum rims
'cause of all the rocks.

Mike, pretty much the brand doesn't matter, the .190 isn't thick enough
for the way you guys ride your heavy Scramblers in the rocks of Pennsylvania.
You need to go with their .250 thickness rims for any chance of using the rims for more than 1 ride. Question: What is wrong with the stock rims? Are they steel or aluminum?

I need a durable rim, but I wanted the aluminum cause of the weight. We all know the Scrambler is a heavy quad so anyway I can lighten it, helps!

As for needing new rims, my stock rims are banged to crap and for some reason the tire will not stay on the damn rim (ask anyone who rides with me

)

Are the steal rims more durable than the alum. for the way we ride?? Shouls I stick with steal??

Aluminum is the way to go. I have talked to many people who have scramblers and they all run the .190 without a problem. Actually I am thinking of getting a set myself. Also with your oversized tires in the rear banging up the edges shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I have never seen .250's Who makes them? And can you even get them for a scrambler?
