    What is the most economical means of getting an 18" wheel on my TC250?

    Is there any aftermarket parts? Are hubs all proprietary? Does any other brand fit? Do I have to bend over at a dealer?

    Thanks!

    Did you check out our classifieds or put an ad in there. Maybe some is selling a rim or two.
    Check out EBay. Might be something in there too.

    you could buy an 18" rim and spokes, re use your hub and brake set up.

    Not bad, not bad..... thanks for the idea...I still would like to have two separate wheels for quick tire changes for different riding.

    What is the advantage of an 18 over a 19? My KTM has an 18 but all my buds have 19s.

    Priapism,





    i belive the reason for an 18" wheel is so you can run a taller tire and reduce the chance of getting pinch flats. if you dont ride in a rocky/ wooded area, you could stay with a 19" wheel.
