I am wanting to replace my son's 2 piece rims with 1 piece??? is there any online stores that you would recommend for price a quality? I am not looking to drop 100's of dollars on chrome rims but just a nice set so I can get rid of the 2 piece rims. Them two piece rims are a son of a gun to replace and the trail-pros got to go!!!!! I did a search in the forums but I can not reply yet.


Thank You.

I've had good luck buying tires and wheels from RockyMountainAtv. Usually free shipping over $100.

I also bought tires from BikeBandit because they're shipping is reasonable.

I bought a nice set of used wheels on eBay once, too.

Cheapest new one piece (I assume 8x8) would be an ITP steel wheel about $35 each.
You can get Douglass aluminum for roughly $45.

Challenges will be finding a 0 offset for the front.

Yup that was my biggest fear. I wonder if I will have to have one special ordered?

I have the Douglas 190 aluminum rims. I. love them! You don't need to get the heavy ones though? I'm just hard on stuff.

weld them to gather then just buy a tube and new tires grind the bead a little so that the whole rim is smooth so you dont wear a hole in a new tube
