The lighest rims you can get would be Hipers, but if you get them for your 350x I will have to stab you, because I wanna be the first with them.

The lightest would be a .125 rim, they are wicked cheezy and bend easily. I would only reccomend them for sand, and road riding and such..not jumping or woods riding. I have another question for you kid, why are you so worried about weight and making your machine faster..why didnt you just go buy a 250r or something?

i would love to have a 250r if i could find 1 cheap, i got a great deal on the x, im just wondering about all this stuff ill probbly never buy anything like rims, or much else to make it lighter.. ill just watch what i eat lol, i was not impressed with he hiper rims they are 4.8 lbs each... have recalls and dont hold air too well, how much does a stock 1 weigh? i was sick when i found out last week that a guy 8 houses up from me sold a 87 250r for 300$ that just needed new reeds.. i didint know the guy. im trying to find out now who bought it and mabye he'll sell it back to me
but really, why do we make anything faster

Now I know you are full of BS an 87 250r. A stock rim will run about double the hiper. And as far as the recall, what doesn't have a recall. And that was just a certain date, and sure enough they sent out the parts for free to correct the center console. and as far as not holding air well, They must if people are hitting 120+ footers with them.

if you ride in sand, you can shave rubber off of your tires....it's known as a competition cut......or comp cut for short.....

If your that woried about weight buy some hoosiers off of me, they are by far the lightest tire you will find. Get some .125 rims and you will probably have the lightest tire/wheel combos you can find. Also the hoosiers will hook up better than any tire in the dirt so you will be faster also.
