    RGV250 rims?

    Just bought an RGV250 VJ22 nearly rolling chasis. It is complete apart from the rear wheel (which would have been to wide anyway). Are there any 3.5 inch rims which bolt directly on?

    GSXR250 3.5x17 R I am not sure how easily it will bolt in, but this looks a possibility.

    Front is 3.0 so 110 tyre no slick options
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Already got a 2.5 front that I can put on. I've got a 3.0 rear too but I'd rather find a 3.5. The GSXR could work but seems a bit pricey for one rear rim with no disk.

    I have two of those 3.5" rims with discs but no sprocket carrier if you are interested.

    I just fitted a FZR250 rear wheel to my RGV VJ22 bucket. Got there in the end, the RGV swingarm is really wide
    so had to work around that.

    Thanks mate. Just bought a GSX rear with carrier. Will take a bit of fiddling to get it to work.

    Just need to change the front now. Do I use the heavy 2.5 impulse I already have or do I find something more lightweight?

    Bugger, I was going to try a slick on the RGV front wheel, Will bad things happen if I do that?

    Well a 120 is too big, heck I dunno if it would be bearable.

    Update:

    The guy selling me the GSX rear has offered me a pair of FZR250 rims for a good price.

    The rear is a 3.5 which is great but the front is a 2.75, the ideal is 2.5.

    Does this extra matter? I don't want to buy and be disappointed with the handling.
