Motard wheels for a WR 250 - 2004 model

[wackyrider]

Does anyone know what wheels would fit on a WR250 - Friend is looking at a cheap option to convert to Motard when they want to have fun on the streets

[Redmohawk]

Cheap wheels to find is the easy bit , can your friend make spacers brackets ? If so Ali 17 inch rims are all about.

[xa-mont]

Cbr250 wheels are the popular choice. If you look around online you can find what dimensions the spacers need to be

[wackyrider]

Will the shaft be the same diameter off a CBR 250? Having a look online and haven't come up with much

[craig]

My boys got some cbr250 rims, will check dimensions over the next couple of days if you like. Has axels too. I used rgv rear and 250 bandit front for my crf 450.

[wackyrider]

Are they for sale Craig?

What year? 3 or 5 spoke?

[Tony Nitrous]

Couple of mates played with swapping wheels on dirtbikes/motards.

They swapped wheels OK, and changed the chain / sprockets to get different gearing
but we're never happy with a "one size fits all" suspension.

Best as one or the other.

If you have access to a lathe with enough swing to fit a 17" wheel you can make any wheel fit.

[wackyrider]

No access anymore in Brissy for me TK. Don't have a workshop here yet, but will get there.

In the meanwhile I have come across this though:

i can smash you out spacers and whatnot if you need em.

ZZR250 wheels are another that people use, I've got a rear in the shed going cheap if that helps

(The VFR wheel arrived too, thanks for that)

[DiscoDan]

Torpedo 7 are doing spoked ones for about $700 which should drop straight it

[wackyrider]

She's looking at the cheapest option for wheels and tyres fitted. So having a look at what I can find for her

[xa-mont]

A set of Aprilia rxv rims with good tyres sold on eBay for 650 the other day. And they're really good motard rims, so keep an eye in there.

[scotty]

with a wr 250 the prilla wheels will be to wide, a mate had rgv front and zzr rear in his, i just spent 800 and got DNA racing wheels cos they are the shit, can do fire burn outs(if oldskool is around) and look peeerty
