Excel Rim???

[Speedy]

Well my rear rim is trashed on my 96 KDX 200. It has a bad stress crack on the inside. I just had the tire taken off to replace it and there it was!!!! I knew the bike took a hell-a-hit but o well. My Q. is,, I want excel rims in black but see that they arent making them in black for my size. I was looking at a stock size for the rear but was wondering if there was a bigger size i could go with to get me to a black rim??? They only sell Regular and Gold in stock size.. Nice but not what i want. I want Black!!!! What do i do???? Thanx -Speedy

I see i can get a black one for the front in stock size but not the rear???

go +1 size in the rear. Means you need new spokes also.

I just bought Black front and rear stock size rims for my 2002 KDX 200 2 months ago. I got them from Proline Motorsports in Atlanta, But Sages street and dirt ALSO had them in the stock size. Give them a call. Here is their site http://www.sagesdirtandstreet.com/pages/273392/index.htm

Good Luck

Hi,,,Owenlo, Is your rear rim a 18 or a 19??? And if i did go to a 19" rim, would it fit well??? Ill buy new spokes and stuff if it fits well. I kinda hate that little tiny 18" anyway. Matt, did you do this????

The 19" will work fine. The overall diameter is the same with 18" or 19" after the tire is on. The off road bikes come stock with an 18" wheel to allow for additional rubber on the tire if you get a flat out in the bush and have to limp it back to the truck.
