OMF Performance Beadlock Wheel Review

**GRIZZLYWIZARD** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-20-2009, 05:35 PM

We are currently looking into some wheels to review from OMF Performance for our KFX 700 Project. Does anybody have any experience with the OMF Performance bead locks wheels.

The wheels we are looking at for our product review are the scalloped bead lock with inner reinforcing ring.

You can see it here:

here is a picture of the wheel:

What do you guys think?

Awesome. Would you go with the stock sizing?

Actually no since the focus on the KFX-700 project has always been XC racing I was going to get it just a bit lower to the dirt. I can either do it with wheel diameter or tire diameter or both really. My intentions are to run the Maxxis Razr 2 tires for front and rear. I am hoping to have it ready to go by next weekends Florida GNCC race at the River Ranch.

A few things are holding me up right now. Wheels are one.

Those razors are going to cut some serious lines. No pun intended. I'd really hate to see tires be the cause of a no show. Dam!

Yeah the Razr 2's are some wicked tires. Some complain that they get too much traction. I am running the ITP Holeshots right now and I thing the sidewalls are too weak for XC.

So what's the latest on the wheels?

I would love a set of those wheels man! Send a utility set to my door!

Well I decided that I would go with some ITP T9 Pro-Loc

I also wanted a couple of additional options for tire type in various conditions. So I wanted another heavy duty wheel that could take a lot of abuse but without the additional cost of the bead lock.

To do this, I decided on the ITP T-9 Baja wheel.

This wheel has an inner and outer reinforcing rings that are rolled in, not welded. It is supposedly i an incredibly strong wheel and is lightweight too.

Now all I need to do is get them in and get them mounted up.
