Title: Black Excel Rims
Post by: JohnJr on September 27, 2011, 01:46:41 PM

I have an 2001 KX-500 , Does anybody actually know if the rims off an 2004 and up KX250F OR KX450F will fit mybike, thanks

The KX---F's use a 25mm axle size.
Your 500 uses 20mm axle sizes.
So if you machined the axle slots in the swing arm that could work for the rear.
The front setup may be a bit of a pain.
I'd just cut my spokes, order some black rims, and have them laced.

Warp 9 makes a spacer to put kx450 rear wheel on a kx500.  Let me know if you are interested.  I could get you a price.
