wheel options

Post by pwmotorsports » Fri Mar 14, 2008 8:16 pm

ok we all know the stock wheels are very heavy yes ?

so what better options are there ? anyone fitted lighter wheels ? r6 wheels must be way lighter anyone tried them ? spacers of course would prob be needed ?

of course there is the mag wheels etc but these are light 1k ish are they not ? must be somthing inbetween ?

I'm surprised when I searched the Internet that I couldn't find much in the way of alternate wheels for the TRX. I was after either spoked wheels or 5/10 spoke mags. Any suggestions or links greatly appreciated.

Running dunlop q2 and they´ve never failed me, they´re a quite flat profile and i read up on an article that a 190 tyre is a great option for the 5,5 rim...so will be tested next time around!
