Default scrambler accident

ok I wont go into what happened but the scambler took a roll onto it side onto pavement this weekend and now I have two bent rims on the left side and possibly bent handlebars but not much I will be able to tell better when the wheels is fixed. My question is where do I buy the stock replacement rims at? Is polaris dealed the only place and if so how much are they if anyone as purchased them. Also when the qaud was turned back over(it was only on the side for a few seconds) there was some red fluid on the road but could have been there before the accident, is there any fluid thats red in the scrambler or what all should I check. How, and where do you check the tranny fluid. It seems to drive and run fine except bent rims.

Factory wheels will be expensive.

Steel wheels, both Front and Rear list for $64.99 each.

Aluminum (Painted)
Front wheels list for $79.99
Rear wheels list for $89.99

You will be far better of going aftermarket
You can get Polished aluminum wheels cheeper.
If you want factory wheels check E-bay, or I am sure some of the guys here on the forum have some take offs they have collecting dust that they would like to get rid of .

It is hard to say, My 2000 400 4x4 and my buddies 2000 4x2 came with Steel wheels.
Some guys I have spoken with said there 2000 model came with aluminum.
The part # at Parts land for a 2000 400 4x4 is an aluminum wheel (Aluminum wheel price any way)
Do your wheel just have 4 holes around the inside hub area, aside from the lug holes of course (Aluminum)
or
Do your wheels have like a cross webbing in the holes around the inside hub area. (Steel)
You could always see if a magnet will stick.

I will have to check the wheels to see abiut the holes but the way it bent i am guessing aluminum because it looks like I took a real hard impact but It really just did a flip in the air and landed on that side mostly on the left front and the wheel just bent up like a tin can but I would rather the wheel give and bend before a axle or something

The red fluid, if from your quad, is definately the gearcase/tranny fluid. It could have leaked out of the tranny vent hose when the quad was tipped over.

Aluminum wheels have 4 crescent/half moon shapes around the hub area, and the steel have triangle shapes.

You can find the stock wheels on ebay all the time as folks upgrade to polished aftermarket wheels, but they are generally in used condition to one degree or another so they may be a little scratched up. Plus, from what I have seen they usually offer fronts, rears or all 4, not per side. You might consider this a good oppportunity to get some aftermarket wheels yourself. I put a set on my Scrambler and it looks a lot nicer, although I will admit that the stockers had rolled edges and my polished ones don't.

I've never seen another Scrambler on the trails I ride, so WHERE in Georgia if you don't mind if I ask?

Just because the axle dosent look bent,dosent mean that it isent.
A buddy crashed my magnum and bent the rear rim,I ordered another and thats when I saw the axle was bent.
SOB still hasent paid me for the wheel,so I doupt I'll see the money for the axle[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

While I'm at it ,
Does anyone know where to get a longer axle?
The magnum is the roll-over king so I figure
if I can get a longer axle instead of spacers?
