Are there any advantages or disadvantages to any wheel out?

Cheaper wheels keep the wallet fatter. Bling Bling wheels keep the wallet small.

lighter wheels = less rotating mass = better performance.

The offset controls how far the wheels stick out. LOL The more the offset the wider the quad. But it all comes down to how fat your bank roll is!

SRA wheels have a larger offset i believe, spacers are the best way even with aftermarket wheels as far a i know.

the LAWS will fit with any aftermarket rims. They all have a higher offset than stock. If you are gonna have a fat bank roll then get new wheels. The wheels on your quad now would work fine. You could just swap rims off the two quads and be fine. The warn is over priced but if money isn't an issue go for it. If your remote wont work why would you buy another one?

I would build your own snork setup. Use MIMB.com. I dont like the way nukes look on a brute personally. I would get ITP 212's with all rear offset. Get four rear rims for a SRA.

there is a little button that pairs it with any remotes. it should be in your manual, or on the warn website

If you want to run 29.5s with out spacers then get four ss212's for the rear of a SRA honda. Tell the place you order them from that you want four rear rims for just say a Honda Rancher or something

Well if you don't buy the wheels specific to the 08 brutes then a little grunt work will have to be done for them to fit. There are tabs on the hubs that have to be ground off b/f aftermarket wheels will fit. Unless you get the irs offset specifically for the brute. Not to big of a deal. Maybe an hour worth of work at most.

But if you run spacers I don't think you have to worry about it.

the black chrome will look better, but the ss212 will have a bigger offset. i LOVE MSA wheels so i "may" be a little biased.
