So today I got round to picking up some supermoto wheels for the TDR.
They are wr125x wheels sporting some nice excel rims both wrapped with pirelli sport demons and decent disks.
I picked up for a fair price.
What do you guys think the TDR will look like wearing these shoes?? 0_1488139134508_DSC_0012.JPG

The original tdr setup is a 17 rear 18 front.
I plan to make a slide show of the entire build but as I've learnt these projects take some time to complete,

@Calum maybe only certain years they used saxxes??
Ive stayed awake a few nights on the pc lookin up these and after extensive research I have found out many wr125x have the same exact wheels as the ones I have purchased today which are undoubtedly Excel Rims.

Looks great anyway!

@tdr125greg Interesting, my DTX 05' wheels are Takasago' Excel rims.
I wonder if build quality is different?

Interested to see how these will look on the bike! The older model TDR had similar sumo style wheels but haven't seen them on a newer model one.

so i went for the Excels. -

It goes without saying, Alloy sprockets wear real quick, I got about 800 miles off mine
I recommend a steel sprocket

Yeah I'd probably stick to steel as well if they wear that quickly! Unless you are VERY keen for the colour to match up.

I have only used ally and never had any problems with undue wear.
But that said I haven't ridden a bike in 2+ years...

They are muy first point of call everytime and deal with renthal directly. As such custom sprockets can be made upon request.
