look for a shop where they allow you to try things on... Many will just have 3 items in stock and let you choose from that, but there are exceptions. I did that and could not be more happy about it (one of few positive moto-experiences here as the shop literally put different tire sizes on rims to let me try before I pulled a trigger)

Next to the looks (of course that comes first ), you want to make sure you are buying genuine rims, and no Chinese knockoffs. So whatever you choose (method, Black Rhino, Fuel, KMC), make sure you are buying from a respectable distributor. There's plenty in Al Quoz, on Umm Suquim road, or in Umm Ramool area. Not naming any shops as we don't advertise here.

Thanks @Looper& @Davie Smooth_Operator!

Get light rims, go for beadgrip, beadlock are heavy, will save you from pop-out all brands are good, more of the taste For the offset, check online tool to see how much the tyre will stick out, but dont over do it
