Black rims on red 09
Just got a flat due to a bent front rim. Thinking about getting a set of black rims. Anyone else have colored rims on there red klxs's lets see some pics?

Will any 21 front rim like pro wheels or excel lace up to the stock hub and spokes? all the parts websites don't show anything for klx250s, can i just get a rim listed for CRF or something more popular and lace it up? also any one know anything about these? kinda look like their too cheap to be strong.

You need 36-hole rims to work with the KLX. 18 X 2.15 rear and 21 X 1.60 front. Be careful with motocross rims like CRF-R rims, as the rears are 19" and not 18". CRF-X rims will work. When looking for rim applications, use something like a KDX200 or KLX300 - the rims are the same.
Some Excel rims, like their A60's, require special spoke nipples and a special tool to install them. The Excel Takasago's that come stock on the KLX do not. I know a guy that has Warp 9 rims and is happy with them. You can use your stock spokes and nipples with Warp 9's, and they run about $100 each (Excel Takasago's run about $160 each).
