Polished Alluminum front wheel for an 85R

[Chris McDaniel]

Hey,

Anybody out there know what company makes and aftermarket polished alluminum front wheel for an 85 ATC250R? I just bought some new wheels for the rear and can't seem to find a front wheel that will match.

I think Douglas can make one, but you have to call them to order. Last time I checked I think they wanted around $70 for one.

do you have a gold one?
you can take the gold of pretty easy.

....or you can get a nice 350x front rim, which is polished, and has a cool looking cast center.....

That'd be a 86 350X rim.... a 85 350X rim would be just solid metal. It absolutely kills me to hear people taking gold rims and removing the coating. Just get yourself a 350X rim, and sell the gold rim to someone searching for a gold 250R rim!

Bought the same mentality of taking a mint set of rear fenders and cutting them down to fit on a different trike. Or taking a set of nice mint red fenders and painting them white or something. Help perserve the OEM items we still have, instead of blasting away the gold off a 250R rim!

Easy Off oven cleaner takes it off.
