I'm deciding between two rims the Douglas Ultimate Conventional .190 or the ITP Baja. Now of course the Baja is probably the better rim but is it worth the extra cash? It is like $217 for the Douglas and like $270 somethin for the ITP Baja. So please help me decide on this one. Thanks.

Those prices are including Maxxis Razr 20" 6 ply tires.

I will be using them on the 400ex for XC racing but MX, Drags, Flattrack, and woods on the 250r.

6 ply tires? Thats pretty heavy for MX..

And I'd just go with Douglas'. I think that Douglas' are very good rims and they haven't failed me yet..

Yeah they are heavy for MX but for the most part I will be racing XC and woods on the 400ex and these will just go on my R on the off season and TF06. I already have front Maxxis Razr 6-ply for the 400ex so thats why I decided on this tire.

they are a great tire.. most of the gncc pros.. and me, use raz1's 6 ply on the rear.. they hook up just as good, cheaper, and alittle sideways slides, and grab a st of .190, w reinforced edges and youll be golden.. i run hipers and beadlockers.. i would also suggest those if you have the cash..
