Default What are the best replacement wheels?

I ordered a set of ITP C Series cast aluminum wheels today. Tried to order lug nuts and center caps with them and they said they didn't have them for the P650.WTF. Does anyone know about this? I'm sure stock nuts will work but won't look very good.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Don't know about all this offset stuff. Just ordered mine with the Mudrunners mounted on them from Treaddepot.com and made it clear to them that I expected the correct fit for my P650.

The salesman assured me of it and they delivered. Entirely satisfied.

No rubbing, no chafing, no cussing, no problems.

Im pretty close to selling my 589s on C-series wheels. They are practicly bran new with only 112 miles on those tires. Im not sure what price Im going to ask. I could keep them and put them on the Kodiak but Im just not sure. If anyone is interested in a very very slightly used set let me know. I will be happy to take pictures of all 4.

Take some pics maybe we can hook up on some sort of deal KissofDeath - How are the wheels do they handle good? is the backspacing issue mentioned here an issue as you can tell or do they look like they are offset just like the originals?

Partsman2, I got lug nuts with my C-series wheels, but no center caps. You can get chrome lug nuts from ATV Outfitters, just call them at (864)706-7433. I think they run about 20-25$ a set. Good Luck

Cammoman - I do appreciate the info. I was looking at a set of C series wheels today on my buddy's bike and the lug nuts are inset in the wheel so much that you can hardly see them. I'm just going to use the stock lug nuts and forget about the center caps.

partsman2---- I THINK that you can use the stock lug nuts, you have to use a thin-walled socket to install/remove 'em though. I bought the 14MM flat, lug nuts ,to get around this. I also used flat washers under 'em to prevent gauling. As I recall, the nuts were 40 cents apaiece from Rocky Mtn. ATV. The center-caps were NOT available for that Kaw. wheel, when I bought mine in May.

I have decided to put the 589s on the Kodiak and buy a set of ITP ATRs for the c-series wheels and put them on the P650.

KOD--- I plan on buying ATR's and "C"s, too. Let me know how they work. For winter, I'll will go with the M/T 589's-rear/Keep the Spiders on the frt. The Spiders work VERY well in the snow. My Sur-Trax are worn out in back.
