Hay anyone can point me in the right direction I'm blowing my wheel bearings out I have a coster brake also could that be a problem for what these bikes are doing . I have a Phantom V3 and it rips but I can't keep a back tire on it.. anyone no if the rims on bike berry worth it
 
These hold up great to a phantom. Might need dished, but a sprocket on the disc brake mount is the way to go...

Looks like you also have a Hyper beach cruiser bicycle...Both Gordy and myself have Hypers as well...The steel frames are ultra strong, I've been using mine for 5 years.

However, the wheels they come with are garbage and we all like to point out to everyone to NEVER use coaster brakes, they WILL seize up and/or grenade on you...Especially with a Phantom 85 as Gordy ran a Phantom on his bike and I have two Phantoms, just in case I have to swap one out to work on the other from time to time.

Gordy has given you a link to a decent set of rims that should hold up fine with the Phantom.

I elected to go with mags myself since I only do street riding now at my age.

Just get rid of the stock rims so you do not get injured or worse.

Here is Gordy's bike at present with a different motor, and the next pic is my Hyper with the Phantom motor and mag wheels and disk brakes.

I've been riding this Hyper for 5 years now.

I just bought the menace and I'm sitting here with a broke down Phantom waiting on a new cylinder head is 3 days out I'm tempted to take off the phantom and put the menace on the hyper bike but if the hyper bike can't hold the phantom it definitely going to blow the bearing out

The hyper frame itself can handle an absurd amount of power and abuse. But, the stock wheels are the weak point. I call them the " Achilles wheels" lol. They're seriously flimsy.
