They are not so good, they seem to bend really easily, the hubs are amazing, but for the same money I would do a custom wheel build on chainreaction with hope pro 2 (choice of color) and like an 09 sun mtx 29 or mtx 31 or the new mavic rims, I know people will dissagree but I would stay away from the dt.swiss.

Its only 4x remember Muzz Wink

5.1's are stronger (IMO) than SingleTracks, And SingleTracks seem to be a norm in 4x...

DoubleTracks, MTX or Atomlab Pimplites seem a good choice? No?

Doubletracks are too heavy but for 09, as I mentioned there is 4 widths on mtx, 29 mill, 31 mill, 33(1 mill off old standard mtx) and 39 (doubletrack width) built properly you could use a 29 0r 31 mill depending on the tire width you choose, chainreaction have always built stiff strong wheels in my experiance. ( 2 wheel sets and 2 single wheels bought.)

Racing Ralph's would be a decent Tyre Choice. As would Maxxis Larsen TT's. Although that is another story lol

tThe larson seems to rol fairly slow in my experiance too, Intense micro knobby ftw, grippier than it ppears, or 2.35 high rollers for wetter, looser courses!

TT's were good when I used them at Fort Bill..... It was slightly damp but nothing major.

Micro Knobbies = tup although ££££
