Nice!!  Let the madness begin. Welcome to the forum. I'm a big fan of the 90's Z50 models. Where you from?? What are your motor plans? (Honda based I hope)!!!

Last time I checked, the OEM rim halves were pretty reasonable, unless your looking to upgrade.

YES THE OEM ARE STILL AVAILABLE. I HAVE PURCHASED THE KITACO 8' ALUM. WHEELS FOR SOME OF MINE. THEY LOOK SWEET. LESS ROLLING MASS FOR THOSE BIG 1/4 MILE DRAGS! HAHA! G-CRAFT MAKE SOME EXCELLENT WHEELS ALSO. I HAVE THE 3.25 X 8 (STOCK IS 2.75 X ON THE REAR OF MY 96 Z50R 88CC. AND RUN A KINGS TIRE 4.00-8" (STOCK 3.50-8"). NO CLEARANCE PROBLEMS. SOME OF THE CHINESE MONKEY BIKE CHROME RIMS WILL FIT TOO AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE 3-BOLT HUB. TRY SOME OEM RIMS AND POWDER COAT THEM IN A COOL COLOR! YOU CAN SEE THE G-CRAFTS AND KITACO ON MY BIKES AT RAZZOMOTO.COM - MY BIKES GALLERY. HOPE THIS HELPED!
