By the excel A60 rims, polish and powder coat your stock hubs and lace them up.

Great package and look for little $

Had a set of warp9's on my now gone CRF 450 and they worked well for me too. Good wheels for the money IMO.

I have a set of stockers if you just want a set of spares-they are like new, less than 5 hours. Gauranteed perfect and straight front and rear.

It is cake. Even if you do not have lacing skills you can have a local shop or rider do it for a 100.00 bucks or so.

Powder coating = 60.00
Excel A60 Rims = aprox. 230 - 300 (depending on deal
Lacing = 100

and you have a solid w/ bling set of wheels for 400.00

btw - most after market wheel sets are heavier than stock

I just got black excel wheels with the excel spline drive spokes. Laced and mounted was $545. Thought that was decent price. Go with excels.

if you want bling, track down some Alpina Rims.

I Replaces My Wheels With Green Pro Wheels Front And Rear For About $160. And Had Them Laced With Original Spokes And Hubs For $80. The Stock Rear Rim Bent On A Tt Track In The First Two Weeks. Stockers Are Junk!

I've been beating the crap out of my stockers for a while now, (rocks and all), and they're holding up as well as any Excell I've ever had. Don't confuse bad luck with bad quiality. I've seen A-60's beat to a pulp in under a week too running the same course as I was. S**t happens and stuff breaks.
