Any body have or thought of having 2 complete wheel set ups.. 1 for street and 1 for dirt. I've been thinking about doing it due to the 1-2 hour turnaround on changing tires. Maybe i could just buy a set of those douglas 5 spoke and use those for dirt.. any ideas or cheap ways???????

 

Been thinking about it myself but damn is it an expensive route.. cheaper the two whole fiddy's tho hahah!

The billets are just retarded in price. I can't justify $300 plus just in wheels for a $1200 bike. Yet the stock rims are atleast $100 each so your still lookin at over $200 after tires and everything. I been lookin on here and ebay for stock rims but no go.. The stock ones I seen on ebay are going for over $100 each.

So I'm kinda stuck too. I want street tires for stunting but I don't wanna give up off roading either. let us know if you come up with a reasonable solution!!

 

I too am stuck chums, too bad we couldn't do 50 group buys to catch a break on stock rims.

 

Just buy 2 fiddys, one for dirt and one for street. Thats what I did but now they are both street, I need a third one for dirt, lol

 

Thats what I did, bought a set of the Douglas wheels and put street tires on them and run my dirt tires on the stock wheels. Only takes 20 minutes or so to change them out.

 

aren't the douglas wheels the billet ones??

and Buick thats a great idea.. wonder where you go to set up something like a group buy??

 

Yea the Douglas wheels are the billet 5 spoke.

 

I think i would run the douglas for dirt considering they are alot stronger than stock... .. I'm suprised my stock ones have held up this long due to my weight and jumping i've done

 

I have one for street/stunts. I have another supsended for dirt. But it seems like I keep putting my street tires on it and doing motard. I think I need another one for motard.

 

Well I was just at the honda dealer over my lunch. Got some pricing on stock wheels and F that!

Front: $165.00
Rear: $163.00 (+ sprocket)
This is for wheel spokes & hub only. The brake rotor system is extra. Might as well go for the billets at that price. He said a group buy could possibly be worked out but he didn't know how much of a discount that would be without talking to the manager.

I would say this option is OUT for me. I'd rather have the trick billets for that kind of money myself. Looks like I will be sticking to one tire style or the other for a while.

 

i think the douglas billets are only 300, im leaning in that direction my damn self, i wanna hit some local tracks out here, definately cant do that with street tires.

 

I was going to do that but then said f it and just built another 50 just for dirt.

 

You got 2 *** fiddys. I wish mine looked that good.

 

I bit the bullet and bought a set for street tires only a while ago. Think I paid a little over 100 each (complete wheel without sprocket). Nice to say "today I think I'll ride dirt" and BAM 15min. later I'm hittin the whoops.

 

Stock steel rims (no hubs/spokes) $10 each
Stock spoke set (1 wheel) $10


BBR Motorsports Garage Sale

 

dude the rims and spokes are not the expensive part, it's the hubs and brakes that make a second setup expensive. so no it is not a gift from heaven.

 

i also need a set for dirt good look :YEAH

 

Thanx but i already knew about bbr sale. The problem is hubs and wheel lacing could easily be 100- 200 bucks on top of the rims and spokes. So to me the douglas of ebay for 399 is still a good deal

 

cool, I got to tell a friend about that garage sale on BBR .....he is always looking for stock stuff.


hubs from honda @ 100.00 bucks last time I priced them.

 

120.00 complete from the honda dealer by me.
