I think you misread the first one it is for 2 10" wheels (3.0" rear and 2.5" front)

stevec · 09-02-2009, 10:00 AM

Apparently I am having trouble reading. I guess it's 2.5X10 front and 3.5X10 rear.

I hear it's cheaper if you ship in the direction of the jet stream.

I have 2 more questions.

Are the "fixing bolts and nuts" hardware store items?

Will the wheel halfs stack up like soup dishes?

z50 chopper · 09-02-2009, 03:31 PM

I think Z from www.honda50.com could get you those rims.

Nobody makes 10" wheels in the 4 hole pattern except those chinese units CHP sells. And the CHP units aren't true 4" wide wheels. 4" wheels are way wider and take a 130/70/10 tire. The 4" is measured at the inside of the bead on most wheels and CHP measures theirs from outside to outside.

For the price, are the classic honda import rims ok?

Yea, I love them. And I'm actually glad they are a little narrower than 4" because they work without having to offset the sprocket. I'll try to post some pics.

Dan,

4" wide rims clear the sprockets. You have to be careful on how wide the tires are. You can run 4" wide rims with 110/80/10 tires (if you like the low-rider look) and not have chain issues.

Danman2540 · 09-03-2009, 03:25 PM

Here are a few pics of my bike with the 4x10's from CHP on 145/50/10 tires. It's close between the chain and tire, but there is a gap. I would really like to have a skinnier front wheel though.

Looks great. How long are those shocks?

Looks like TB aftermarket shocks. Can you post a closeup of your brake rod? Thats a panda frame right?

110streetlegal · 09-03-2009, 04:24 PM

hey ducati, look into the ct70 brake rod i got one and its 4" longer then the stock rod.

That looks pretty good and im shocked to hear that fits, as with my 10X4 G-Craft rim with 130/70/10 and offset sprockets is still an incredibly tight fit. Also i like the look of those low pro 10" tires.
