What do you guys think of these Aftermarket rims?
« on: August 18, 2013, 09:58:10 AM »
I'm considering keeping the hubs I have on my bike and getting them powder coated later this with along with my triple clamps. However, my stock rims look slightly out of round in a few spots. They look a little bent maybe. IDK how to find out for sure. But i've been thinking of getting excel or d.i.d. rims which are expensive but I'm sure worth the $.

Then I came across these. Anyone have any info on these or feedback? The price is right. I wouldn't be stoked about putting this no-name brand on the bike. That's not very "Works", however, brand new virgin rims at this price would be nice. Let's get some opinions flowing.

cant imagine them being better than stock rims.
warp 9 are like 85$ for front rim and those are junk, nice stuff like DID and SM Pro Platinum are 160. so i can only imagine the quality of a 35$ rim.

d**n I was afraid you'd say that. Not sure what I'm going to do wheelwise yet. But I've got some time to figure it out.

excel

My first choice is I wasn't being slightly budget conscious. I loved the excels that came stock on my YZ125

I have had good luck on ebay.  I got a stock full rear wheel/hub/tire assembly for my 03 KX250 for $135 (+$20 shipping).  It had one broken spoke that I fixed and the PO had done a horrible black spray paint job on it.  He didn't even bother to tape the spokes so they had over spray all over them.

I could care less though.  I don't have to swap tires when I want to run a paddle.
