Title: Kx 500 Supermoto wheels
Post by: Nolen on March 26, 2009, 12:09:07 PM

What wheels will fit the 500 as far as supermoto wheels?  I finally narrowed it down to the complete warp 9 wheels but then I was told they would not fit.  Any help please!

If you are looking for spoked rims try contacting buchananspokes.com , thats where I get all of my wide Sun rims , they also carry Excel and other brands. And they will spoke and polish any of rims for you, for a fee.

Yes the 250 wheels will fit with no problems. Also the 125 wheels will fit but the rear wheel is nawworer than the ones off the big brother and 18 inch rear wheel off of older models like 88 works

Check out EASTCOASTWHEELS.COM
for their supermoto rims or complete wheel sets.  They are pricey, but good quality parts.  They will even lace and true them if you need them to.

Isn't everything these days????  But 7000 series aluminum is the same in all countries.  Warp 9's biggest problem is running cheap bearings.  I have seen a lot of failures.  The rims and hubs are solid enough, the spokes 4 years ago were cheap but they have upgraded and seem fine now. They are the best deal for the money.

I just made a set of RMZ wheels fit a yamaha.  4 wheel spacers and a different brake rotor for the rear.  I bought the wheels for $400.

Look for a deal.  Most can be made to fit if you have the means to get the wheel spacers made.  If you are looking at brakes, you would have to get the rotor that fit whichever wheel set you find.
