i dont think there's any rims for ds250, only mods i know of are:

durablu axle
k&n air filter (currently in development)
some kind of exhaust for the kymco250 (not sure if it works tho)
brp nerfbars
brp bumper (looks just like some dg bumpers but it has ds carved into it instead of DG)

But why would you want aluminum rims instead of steel rims, wouldnt that be even weaker? mine are already bent and they're stock, i dont know what shape they would be in if they were aluminum

because aluminum is lighter then stock...rpmhog check to see if you can figure out the bolt pattern as it may be similar to one of the other quads on the market, and if you can find a bolt pattern to match yours then I would go and use those rims.

Wonder if all the brands from Taiwan use the same pattern?

I don't know on that but if they did then the kymco would work on the rims also but would have to check on the dimensions

Just wondering on that because you know they are going as cheap (price wise) as possible, so if they all got the rims from one maker, it'd be cheaper for all of them.

John at Raceway may be able to tell you if the Jetmoto wheels might fit, or at least the dimensions.

sure they are lighter, but how much lighter? i wouldnt get aluminum rims unless they were more than 20lbs lighter. Just plain aluminum rims would bend so easy, unless you get reinforced rims off the DS650X- those look nicer too, look into that!
