I'll be running a xr80 swingarm.

Slimbo, the middle should be the same thickness of a stock z50 rim

Re: I <3 wheels!

Here's another comparison picture on wheel sizes.

12" with a 120/80/12
12" with a 100/65/12
10" with a 3.5X10

The 12" with a 12/80/12 holds the distinction for having the largest number of different PM owners since I built those wheels a couple years back

You can get them on ebay or Volk Racing/Rays Engineering dealer (car wheels).

Are Volks stems "mag wheel" only or can the be fitted to spoked rims (modded to run tubeless) such as a Excel?

Seems to me the stems may need a certain "thickness" at the stem mounting hole.... Is this correct?

Alrighty... Dan? Are ya there? Modded Excel "tubeless" rim? Volk stem?

On a side note, I do KNOW that with only a slight mod, they work on Marchesini wheels... At least the red ones do... Now why would I know that?
