Can't Beat OEM Honda Wheels

[350Kris]

Is it me or does Honda make (or use) some good OEM wheels? They have a rolled edge and reinforced stud holes, plus they seem to be somewhat light and also durable. I bought some new take off OEM wheels for my 350X project -- I'm glad I did. The price is far more reasonable for OEM vs. aftermarket, too (look on Ebay for some new take-offs). Anybody else have an opinion/experience on this?

My stock 400ex wheels say DID. I really like the reinforced lug holes too.

The oem Honda wheels are the best on the market. They are a favorite of desert racers for a long time. Very thick aluminum, rolled edge, perfect fit.

my rear rims on my 86r say did as well, but my front is a different manufaturer, when i bought it i thought maybe the rears were aftermarket, does anyone have any info on this- also im lookin for a rear set of oem gold in nice shape for my r

[hrc85250r]

my 85 R came with rims just like you guys say...rolled edge reinforced lug holes and just a really nice set of wheels, but they arent stock i dont think.....they are polished aluminum, but i was told they were polished until the gold came off, but the brand isnt DID, its ENKEI....so idk, ive never heard of enkei atv rims, just car rims....really nice anyways....

honda has alot of shares in did (wink wink) so its just common sence they would be using there rims...but almost all manufature's today use did or exel rims

My friend wrecked my 400ex near my house on the sand hills and bent one of my stock front rim's. I called the Honda shop and they wanted $130 for 1 rim. I looked in Dennis Kirk and got 2 ITP aluminum rim's for $130. The ITP rims seem better in price and hold up pretty good too. I think I have been harder on them and they still run true. Just my 2 cent's.

my wheels are stock from 1982 and they still are fine i have cheng shin tires on them and they seem to grip pretty good-never get stuck(EVER)

Are all stock R rims gold, I know both of mine had gold on the rear but only the parts bike I bought had a gold front.

[Red Rider]

Yes, all ATC 250R's came with gold wheels, front & rear. All of the TRX 250R's, except for the 88-89, came with gold wheels front & rear also.

I have to disagree about the quality of stock atc 250r front rim, I've bent two of them

[hrc85250r]

well, deathman, you bend them because you do HUGE kickers and stuff, no wonder they bend,lol , i bet team honda would have the same problem if they did supercross....crazy SOB! :p
