as for what wheels you get, it's pretty much personal preference. i went with the D windows because too many people have the soft 8's.

i personally dont like soft 8's me and a buddy where on a trail i had aluminum wheel sand he had soft 8s both takin the same line at same speed hit a hole with a root in it his soft 8 folded like a taco. good thing though took out a sledge and beat it back most of the way enough to hold air spent the rest of the night wheelin
