x track style

I got my X out of a pure supermoto interest. I race a 2010 YZ450f as an amateur so I had no interest in taking my supermoto offroad. Today I stopped by my buddys house and could not help but take a spin--just for shits and giggles--around his track. I was blown away, even with my battlaxes on I was able to rythm the whoops and clear a couple of his smaller 20-30 foot double jumps and was even doing some fast burm shots(mostly because once your up to speed there is no slowing down in the dirt on those street tires). I was so happy with my WRX that I am going to get some dirt tires for her. My question is, if I am going to get wild with this thing offroad then is it better to ditch the 17in rims for some dirt rims or should I just rock the fatty dirt tires for the 17in rims. Like I said I have zero expierience with this bike off road and I dont want to taco the rim if I case a big hit. One thing I did notice as a side note is that when i hit a decent rock or rut today I could feel a hard thunk from the front tire that makes me think twice(also have had this same thudding when hitting stairs) but the rim shows no signs of damage. Any advice would help

If you got the coin get the wheels.

For about $800 you'll have TWO bikes!

Hope you're not in a hurry though..... My rear is pushing 1 week late on their 2 week delivery promise

Great wheels though.

How much air pressure you got in your tires?
