I would much rather jump a sport quad than a ute. quad. The wide stance adds to stability, handling, travel, and ride. My raptor goes everywhere my Honda rubicon goes(except for thick mud)

im gonna say to go and spend the money on a four wheeler instead of rims and tires for your truck because you will enjoy the atv more, if you buy the rims and tires your gonna spend extra money on insurance for them, you wont be able to sleep at night knowing that someone might steal your rims, even if you garage it everynight, they will get you when you least expect it, people here have gotten entire systems stolen out of there trucks in plain daylight in less than 5 minutes so think about that. Taking care of rims isnt easy you have to keep them clean and be extra careful not to hit a curve. The rims and tires that you might get will only satisfy you for a bit and then you will hate them, spend the money on a four wheeler and enjoy that more, i tell you this because i had the same problem but people made me realize that rims was a waste of money. Thats just my opinion but eithe way good luck with your decision

That will buff right out. I would use Meguires...


On-Topic.

I have been looking at four wheelers and have found a 06' Polaris 800 with 27" AGGRESSIVE mud tires and ATP (or something like that) powder coated rims, & winch. All of this with tax 8400 out the door. Is this a fair price, this baby is brand new and I am in love with it. Pluse I have heard nothing but good when it comes to polaris.

Does anyone have any experience with the polaris's. The twin exhaust is MEAN sounding.
