ATC 70 Stock size aluminum rims and light stock size tires WHERE CAN I GET THEM??

[big specht]

I'm looking for some stock sized tires and light aluminum rim for a atc 70 ??? Do you know where I can get some ???

[atc350xer]

Tractor Supply carries the tires, though they've doubled in price in 2 years. I got one for $25 in 2010, now they're closer to $50. Online may be cheaper. I'd like to know about rims myself... I hate the split rims, but love the stock size. I know Dr.ATV has 8", but no 7".

[KASEY]

robert from sterdy has 7" aluminum wheelsthey are 1 piece too,

[big specht]

Ok I will check with them

[big specht]

Sterdy is the only one that shows them but they are out of stock does any body know where I can get 7'' aluminum wheels for a 70????

[Blown 331]

Bump, I'm looking as well. Or I'd take 8's if I could get them with stock-ish looking knobbies, I don't care for the Holeshots look.

[Mr. Clean]

I have a set of rims from a recent 70 purchase. They are drilled for the 3 hole ATC 70 hub. They have lawnmower tires on them now. I will post pics when I get home from work.

http://www.sterdyproducts.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=37&idproduct=127

They have been out of stock for a looooong time

[murfman]

I gave up and went with 8" aluminums and the holeshot look a likes on my extended frame 70. I guess I could have waited as the piranha 150 is on back order for 90 days:wondering

[Mr. Clean]

I got the rims out and took some pics they are 8" rims, drilled for 70 bolt pattern.

those woudl be sick on a little flattracker.

[Blown 331]

Hmmm, Mr. Clean those are tempting!
I've been doing a little research. It looks like Sterdy is out of stock on the 7 inch loose wheels as mentioned earlier. BUT it looks like they do have them with Shen Ching knobbies mounted which is exactly what I want but the price is out of this world. http://www.sterdyproducts.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=37&idproduct=128

But this is real interesting. Here's a Kart site that has 7 x 6 Douglas aluminum wheels with 3" backspace. Thats the exact size of a stock ATC70 wheel. http://www.cometkartsales.com/store/wheels/dougalum.htm If you add them to your cart they get even cheaper than advertised. You can get all 3 for about $100! So I guess I could always just drill new holes for the ATC70 pattern which wouldn't be that bad. The ATC70 pattern is 3 on 100, these wheels are 3 on 63.5. Or I wonder if Douglas would sell them with no lug pattern drilled? Could we do a group buy on them? At $100 per set I'm sure there would be TONS of interest. At that price I'd definitely be down for 9 of them to get this off the ground, or maybe more.

I just called Douglas and they do custom wheels with a minimum order of 24. The guy who handles custom wheels was at lunch so I have to call back.

[big specht]

Damn that wouldn't be a bad price I ended up getting some from sturdy. They only saved 2lbs per wheel over the stock steel wheel I wish they were lighter

[Blown 331]

Which wheels did you get? I called douglas and they don't make 7 inch wheels. The ones listed above are listed incorrectly. They are actually 6 by 7. Back to the drawing board!

[Blown 331]

I saw this pic on another site. Looks like 7's and stock style tires to me, thats exactly what I want. The rears are 4 lug. I wonder where these came from.

[jb2wheels]

TRX450 hubs. 4x110 bolt pattern. Looks like 8" rims. Probably 18x9.5x8 knobbies. All guesses on my part.

I'll have to look at my 70 - it has some stock size non Ohtsu knobbies on it. Although I think you can get the Ohties new still.

Does your ATC70 have 7" aluminum wheels?

[Jon Boy]

the 4lug could've came from www.hondaatc70.com they list the 8x6 Douglas rim $55, but they only show the race cut style for $25 more in their pics. from their description i'm going to say they've got the stock 3lug in alum. from what i can tell. you would need to call to be sure though. :rolleyes:

We have wheels and tires for the ATC70's, both stock 3 bolt pattern, or 4 bolt standard or race-cut wheels, polished or powder coated satin black.

[Blown 331]

I found some more but they are out of stock. The manufacturer is now only shipping them in black. Crap. They are the correct size and they are aluminum.

What about chinese atv wheels? wonder if any of them are the same bolt pattern

What about chinese atv wheels? wonder if any of them are the same bolt pattern

I looked everywhere I could and came up empty. Id be happy if they were even a different bolt pattern. I have no problem just drilling new holes.

[Xowner]

I will be making a phone call monday to see if these are able to be made.

[greenhuman]

I have recently contacted my wheel manufacturer about spun 7" alloy wheels and they informed me they can do it. There is tooling costs involved as it is not a normal size or bolt pattern plus there is a minimum build of 100. I would have to be very certain of moving some sets before I commit to this.
I will work out freight costs as well. Maybe a bulk deal can be had in freight to one place and then distributed from there.
At this point it looks around $70 -75 each plus freight. .160 thickness, 6061 T6 poilished aluminum, correct bolt pattern.149763
This image is sample of their work.
Let me know if there is any interest.

[big specht]

the only thing I didn't like about the wheels from sterdy was what they weight I was hoping they would be lighter

[Blown 331]

greenhuman- It would not hurt to look in to and I want this as much as anyone else, but here are my honest thoughts. I think theres gonna be a lot of interest but probably not enough for 100 of them. I know completely custom parts cost money but thats the absolute ceiling of what I would pay, I'm not 100% sure I'd even go that high. I think the price is going to be out of most peoples budget. There are Chinese 7" aluminum (black) ATV wheels out there for around $35 each, there must be some way to cut the price down.
Inland ATV is constantly selling Douglas 8 inch aluminum wheels with the ATC70 bolt pattern with hole shots mounted on ebay for $265 shipped. I don't like the Holeshot look so I contacted them about different tires. They can do knobbies for $20 less! Thats $245 shipped for aluminum wheels and tires. The main reason I wanted 7's instead of 8's is I wanted knobbies not Holeshots. And it looks like that has been remedied.

^^^ Whats the bolt pattern on those black chinese wheels?

I've looked at so many I can't even remember which was what but here's one one ebay, I've seen them cheaper than this too.

[350Xccelerator]

Would those work for the front to?

[Blown 331]

Would those work for the front to?

I don't have the slightest idea. I would think so but at most maybe make new spacers to recenter the wheel? I really have no clue, just guessing. That same place used to have them aluminum colored but their supplier just stopped making those, figures. I would have tried those for $132 shipped for all 3. What a deal.

[greenhuman]

Are you sure those chinese rims are aluminum? I can't see that point in the description and the welds do not look like any alloy welding I have seen.

I picked up on that as well, I emailed them. Here's the reply.

Dear blown-331,

it is aluminum, we have it painted in black color. sorry this silver color is run out. I got to take it off.

[350Xccelerator]

Douglas should have just made a stock size wheel for the 70 instead of the 8s. Anyone ever conact them about it?

[Blown 331]

The 8s fit other models too, 2 birds with one stone. I called them. They cannot do 7s period. Not even custom.

[350Xccelerator]

Have you contacted ITP? Could they be done in steel instead of aluminum?

[Blown 331]

I have not contacted ITP. I'm not sure on steel, but I'm not interested in those. I already have steel 7s. Lol.

[greenhuman]

Those wheels are steel, I would bet your testicles on that!
The company I deal with manufacture ITP's alloy wheels so if 7's were available to ITP they would available to me as well and they are not.
The wheel I want to get made will have the wide bead hump the same as the TRX70 so you can run the best 70 tire, the Ohtsu.

[Xowner]

Guys give me untill monday to see what my wheel guys say, im placing an order for 10 of the 10 inch wheels i can ask them then if this is something they might be able to do.

[Mr. Clean]

Please add me to the list for qty 1 of 10 inch wheels. ATC 70 rims would be like icing on some cake.

[350Xccelerator]

I wouldnt mind steel wheels at all. As long as theyre one pc and stock size.

[murfman]

I was thinking it would be cool to get 2 piece aluminum rims. I really like the ability to mount and dismount tires easily at home. Easy to make for the manufacturer as well, they only have to make half a wheel and no welding.

[atc350xer]

Those are 3/78... isn't the stock pattern 3/100?

[Blown 331]

Yes, the stock pattern is 3/100. Id drill new holes if they had em in aluminum.

[greenhuman]

I have contacted the manufacturer and they can do them in two piece. I have to send them an image to show how the "O" ring works.

[Xowner]

I just got off the phone with my company, They said they will make the wheels

The polished wheels are 150
the satin ones are 125

Im gonna start the 1st pre order with Free shipping for the guys that get in this 1st group buy.

So this is a go? Wow, awesome. I'm in for free shipping! lol. I'll go with polished. Is there a minimum order? I'll take 2 sets if I have to but I really just want to go with one set since I just got that 10" front wheel. But I might do 2 sets anyway. lol. But I am for sure in for one set of polished at $150 shipped. Thanks!

did they send you any pictures of what those knobbies looked like on the 8" wheel? Part of the whole knobbie look to me is that they look stock. Honda got it right when they put thos tires on the atc70 IMHO.

I have not seen pics. From the way it sounded, they don't just have em laying around but they will mount em up if anyone wants them.

[greenhuman]

I have fitted the standard ohtsu's to 8 x 8 alloy rims before. Just took out the rings and on they went. They are a bit soft on the bead but looked OK.
