    Can anyone tell me if there is an aftermarket rim that can be laced onto the standard OEM hubs from my 2008 Husky SM610.

    I'm looking for a 5" rear and a 3.5" front to match, but don't really want to go to the expense of a full wheelset from the likes of Talon/Excel or any of the others, when the standard hubs are perfectly adequate for road use, but would like to run a 5" rear when using 160 width tyres to acheive a better tyre profile when lent over.

    So does anyone know of a Manufacturer, (Excel, DID, Akront, Behr, Morad, SM Pro, WRP, SanRemo, Warp 9 or any others), Importer, Supplier, Wheel Builder or whoever, that can supply me a pair of rims to lace up to my Husky hubs here in the UK?

    I went thru a lot of difficulty finding replacement rims for my SMR, but that's here in North America. I'd think the spoke hole pattern is more common in the EU.
    Wish I could help.

    You can get a husky hub laced to a Jap rim no worries.
    I have had both a front and rear OEM hub laced to Excel rims I purchased from Motostrano.

    Just find a decent wheel builder and they can do it no worries.

    This is true, you'll just need custom spokes. Buchanan spokes cando that in the US, Not sure about UK though
