Default Sportsman 500 rear wheels

Put Bighorns on front, but they don't make a 10' tire for rear of my stock rims (2001 500HO). So, anyone know where I can get a set of 12" stock style steel rims for rear? Or know of better options? Don't really want to put some hi-tech expensive rims on a rock crawler...

Thanks everyone

Maybe someone will chime in that has upgraded to the "some hi-tech expensive rims" and wants to get rid of their take offs. I kept mine & put them back on when traded.

Thanks...I do have one lead on some for sale, not sure if they're 25x11x12 yet. Don't get me wrong - I like custom rims, just don't see the point nor do I want my quad to look like a sport truck that never sees anything but pavement--it is a hard working and playing quad, rarely clean and shiny.

There are decent tires made for 10" rims such as Mudlites and so on. I have a mismatch going on right now. Mudlites XL on the front and stock Goodyear P trackers on the back. My backs are taking a long time to wear but once they do I think I will go Mud lites on the rear or Duro EXCAVATOR.

When they changed from 10" to 12" rear wheels the bolt pattern stayed the same. If you're lucky someone here has a pair for you. If not you can get a brand new pair of wheels from Polaris. They make black, silver, and camo. Just get whichever matches the front.
