Has anyone bent there factory wheels on their Raptors. Yamaha wants 190.00 dollars a piece. Is there anyway to repair them?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

you can use a sledge or my favorite - a bottle jack that fits right inside the rim. but it will probably never be totally round again.

if you cant get it straight I would try looking in the classisfieds here or on ebay where they are plentiful.. Also you could pick up a set of aftermarket rims but I have had no luck with them staying true.

I can't believe Yamaha wants 190.00 dollars for one wheel, and they also said that i had to have it a rock or stump to bend it and that it was not under warranty. I haven't hit anything but pretty high jumps and normal bumps. I can almost get a whole set of wheels for that price.

If it is a strait front wheel you are looking for I have one that came off my 2001 Raptor. I bought .190 Douglas wheels for the front of mine. I will let you have the wheel cheap![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Raptorx how does $45.00 sound to you and it is strait, some scratches on the outside lip but nothing major. The other wheel is bent that is why I am selling only the one. Let me know, I am out of town know but will be back on Saturday.
