spoke wheels

[Randy B]

First the Dlx came with cast wheels as well. Only the EX that was sold in Europe and Japan got the spoke wheels and they require tube type tires.
One of our members did the swap and it required changing the rear caliper as well due to the placement being different with the different rims. As far as I know the front calipers are mounted in the same location, but the rotors are specific to the spoke wheels so 3 new rotors are in order as well.
If my memory serves me I want to say that for everything the cost for parts including tires and tubes was somewhere between $2500 and $3000 when all was said and done, but could be off on the figure and it could be cheaper now anyway due to the exchange rate with Japan being more favorable for us as of late.

Here is a link to samurider where he sells them:

As of right now this is the cost of his kit which has everything but the rear caliper. $2040.82
