Hi flite they only cost $226 for a pair of wheels plus post. and a little bit of work to make them fit the rebel. :thumb:

When I have my first flat, I'm gonna wish I had ponied up the money, but that's a little too much for me, especially considering the "little bit of work to make them fit the rebel" business. Just out of curiosity, how much work are we talking about? Do they have to be turned on a lathe or what?

hi flight u need 2 use honda steed 400 rear brake assy, make sleeve/spacer to addapt brake assy, machine down wheel spacers to centralise wheel n same on front wheel l spacer to machine to fitt. :thumb:

If you or any one needs i can make spacers to suit wheels . :thumb:

No problem if you later change your mind just let me know , I'm going to draw up all bits needed 4 this conversion so can easily get them made, the seller of the wheels has no idea how to make them fitt properly so i will have to make up a kit to fit the wheels. :thumb:. the wheels are actually off a johny page bike [a chinese rebel coppy]
