I'm a NC Programmer at a machine shop and have unlimited access to CNC equipment. I'm thinking of manufacturing XR50 Billet aluminum wheels. I was just wondering if you all think this is something that would sell well. I haven't seen alot these on the web, and I can customize them, because I'm the programmer designer. These would be spokeless rims made from Aluminum, although they may add alittle weight they would be much stronger. If anyone has a front & rear rim that I could use to get all dimensions from please I.M me, I'll pay for shipping and return shipping. These can be bent rims, I'm just using them to get bore diameters, widths etc... Let me know what you guys think. thanks...

 

i thought it took a little more R&D to make those things, but hey it might work...

humm......like chopper style wheels????????????? IF SO, sure ill take a set! AND Ill send you my wheels IF I can have a set for FREE!!! LOL

 

if the price is good i'll take a set two

 

im somewhat interested. if they are less than dealer cost on some bbr's or f.50's, i might pick up a set.

 

Sik50s sells billet wheels

 

i would take a set but i wouldnt pay more than 150.00 bucks

 

those wheels are badass. but way too much...sorry.....if i were sponsored or a millionaire..yes, but not for that money....

 

Well, I don't think anyone on this board is going to pay as much as the bike for a set of wheels... That's why I'm interested in making a set much cheaper, Aluminum is $3.00 a pound.. ($20.00 to 30.00 a rim) plus my time, do the math. $999 is robbery as far as I'm concerned. I want to make a cool product that stunters can afford. And the more I can make the cheaper they will be.

 

Well in that case sign me up for a set w/ a maltese cross some where on them On a serious note PM me if you get them together I know of a couple places that would probably stock them in my area for you. :YEAH

 

U build um..............They will sell .

at least i know I would buy a set if they were around $200

 

if they are in the $200 range i would take a set too...

 

Make me the most gangster set of spinners and put me down for a set

 

if you made a pimp set of spiners i would bet almost everyone would buy them! i would!!

 

When you make your design keep strength in mind. I got the fast 50s billet rims and there pretty much indestructible. They allow me to treat curbs like jumps and just bang off them as fast and as hard as I like. Well worth it.

 

Spinner 50 rims.....

I love it! I'd buy 2 sets! LOL

 

I'd buy some if the price is right...Are you gonna make em?

 

Yea, My buddy has a 2003 he's bringing over this weekend so I can reverse engineer them, I'll start designing in my CAD/CAM system after I get all dimensions. Looks like there is a interest these, so I'm going for it, Is there a demand for a larger rim on these bikes? Looks like there is clearance in the front but I'll look at the rear, I don't own a 50 myself but I'll investigate my buddies this weekend. Also, would a disc brake on the front be something you all are looking for ? that drum setup sucks...:YEAH

 

You can count me in for a set if the price is right. Email me when there done and w/ a price and pic

 

Starting to desgin rims, need your guys input...
