Really like the look of the billet wheels how do they hold up out on the trails? Has anyone experienced any track wear or damage to the track from these wheels? Thinking about going black with the suspension and a nice set of fork wheels.

They don't take abuse well, I bent 3 small yammie tuning fork ones. Never really felt anything either until they were bent lol. I don't know how strong the aftermarket ones are. I also have the rear tuning fork wheels as well I have had no issues with them.
 
They dont last very long, I had to replace 4 of my wifes wheels with 1876 miles. The rubber broke loose from the billet.
 
they look nice in the garage but dont hold up to hard riding.......
 
My findings don't jive with the above. I put on over 1,100 miles this year on mostly subpar, icy, super bumpy, lack of snow conditions with no issues. I'm not having any rubber delamination issues at all and they are still in like new condition. This is just my experience tho over 1 year on the Attak. I also ran tyhese on my Mt Viper for 4 years and ober 2,600 miles with no issues either, which is why I had the courage to put them on the Attak after hearing they can delaminate, so I guess they do for some.

They look great like Mikes pics but you dont notice them 5 miles into the ride as your pic shows. Suspension is always packed with snow so there garage bling. Dont get me wrong they are sweet but I try to keep myself in check with nobody will see them but me in the garage. :bling
 
I have wheels from http://www.tricked-toys.com/ with over 14000 km-8600 ml on them with no problems at all.10000 km is on a ice ripperXt and 4000km with the 196 studded down the middle ripsaw.They do not have the rubber on them because they do not come in contact with studs.I had the skid powercoated black as well as I did the Rockerdan Skidoo wheels upgrade to help with slider wear.One set a season or 4000 km is great in limited snow conditions.
