if ur going to race u'll need atleast single beadlock rear rims . ive got some non beadlock rims i use for pratice and ive poped the tire off several times . i wouldnt chance regular rims in a race . but to pratice they work ok .
If you are new to racing MX as I was last year show up with what you have. When people start looking at the cost to make a true MX ready quad a lot of them end up not racing at all. Some folks think you have to have all these tech add-ons to race,
you don't, they will make it a bit easier for you but are not required. I have raced 3 MX races on stock wheels and have yet to have any problems and there were plenty other on stock wheels as well in all the classes except the money classes.
If after racing some you see it is something you want to keep doing then I agree start looking for beadlocks and a whole host of other items to help take you to the next level.
Whatever you do go to a race and have a good time. You don't have to be 19 and capable of clearing every jump to go out and have a good time racing.
