I ordered a set about 3 weeks ago from sxsindustries...still waiting on them:)

[jlbierig450r]

These wheels are awsome. Thanks for a great product. Look good and are holding up great. I run them on my quad and SXSs.

[HiPer-Tech10]

I apologize about that BigJim. If it was the 12" wheels you ordered we've had a overwhelming amount of orders come in for those and we're just now catching up. It's quite possible that they may have went out yesterday seeing as though we shipped about 75 wheels out. Please let me know through this thread or give us a call at 785-749-6011 and we will do our best to help you out. We definitely want to take care of our supporters so let us know what we can do.

Best,
Dylan

I have a question??? Are these a 3 piece wheel? As in do you bolt the 2 wheel halfs to the billet center? Or are they 1 piece with a billet center? I guess what Im getting at is if they aren't wide enough for my liking can I just order a couple of new wheel halfs?

[HiPer-Tech10]

They sure are a 3 piece component wheel. That way if you were to crack a half after the warranty was up you can simply buy that one half, or if you even wanted to have several different off-sets you can purchase the halves separately. If for some reason the off-set you receive isn't to your liking give us a call and we would be happy to send you the correct halves in exchange for the ones you ordered.

what does a set of 14" for a teryx run for

[HiPer-Tech10]

They are our new 14" Dual Bead Lock Dakars and they are retailing at 399.99. Give us a call at our factory, 785-749-6011 if you're interested and we can discuss setting you up. So far we've had nothing but great things said about them. The LSR Racing team runs them on all their UTVs and said they've had collisions were they thought for sure the rim was destroyed when the wreck occurred and it ended up they didn't have a scratch on them. We'd love to put you in a set of them. Thanks for the support and any questions just give us a call or submit a reply on this thread.

Best,
Dylan and Team HiPer

I have to ask...why?

Im sure they do too...

When I got the wheels, they already had tires on them but they were brand new. Basically someone else mounted the tires and thats how I bought them. They were great for a few races. The next few races I had were complete mud races. With Snowflake 2009 (the second muddiest race ever) being the beginning of the end. I got a flat tire there. Washed the race car when I got home, as it took about $100 and 100 hours. I finally decided to change the blown tire. Well apparently, most people put anti-sieze (so Ive heard) on all the bolts. These wheels didnt have any put on them. After removing the inner and outer rings, I had broken 9 bolts on one wheel trying to remove them. Next became the tricky part. Getting the broken aluminum pieces out. Everything we could possible think of was used. It simply came down to having to drill them out to the exact size with a drill bit. Well, one thing led to another and a few worked out but once or twice we ended up drilling through the carbon wheels. and a few others were drilled too big...

Now I was down one wheel...

The next race, I ended up with another flat tire... Same result...

Another race into the season I had another flat tire... Yes, a lot of flat tires. I have 5 hipers... atleast two had holes drilled into them from broken bead lock bolts. and yes that is not hipers fault...

Could it be I had some bad luck with them, yes. Is it all hipers fault? No. Many have told me to ditch all the aluminum bolts for steel ones....

:o

[BiggJim]

Anytime aluminum or stainless is used for hardware it HAS to be bathed in anti-seaze...So yea....dont sound like your fault or hypers:oBut whoever assembled them seemed to have their head up their culo:eek:If indeed they are running aluminum hardware I will probably ditch the hardware for steel.:cool:

[LSRGreg]

All the wheels we just got a few months ago have the hardware pre-antiseized, so it made assembly really easy and clean. We have been changing tires a few times, with no issues yet, and have pressure washed the car multiple times. When you do take them apart, and go to put them back together, make sure the bolts still have anti seize, or add some more. Another huge plus, is since they are beadlocked on both sides, its really easy to mount and dismount tires. During our last race, we got a rear flat with 2 laps to go, and the car was a little more squirly, but didn't hardly slow me down. I figured it was just low, but the tire had a puncture right in the middle of the tread, and we kept on rolling with a 4th place finish. If we were using another single lock wheel, we would have had to change it out because it would have probably pulled the inner bead, and would have finished last..

They are for sure pricey, but you definitly get what you pay for, and they do require the proper maintenance just like anything else to keep them in tip top shape. (Proper torque and anti-seize)

every boat guy has had this happen pretty much all hardware on the boats is stainless or aluminum. I dont know how many outdrives we had to take to the laser shop to get the broken off stud or bolt off. Those outdrives wern't cheap i hate boats.

[jlbierig450r]

I have broke 4 myself. It is a pain when one gaulds.

[DASARACING]

I have personally built and taken apart alot of these rims. They HOLD up to the tuffest abuse. Here are some things i do that help

1. Torque to 7LB only
2. Never reuse any of the bolts

Once i started doing the above i have had ZERO ISSUES.
