FB150 CA250 are available from Alibaba. The problem is that the minimum order is 100 units. They look like the Johnny Peg Spyder/Regal Raptor rims, but I don't want to order 100 of each, front & rear, only to find that they won't fit. This set is 0ne 15" & one 18" same as the Rebel has.
I really want the alloy wheels. The spokes break too easily on my Rebels.
Any thoughts?

I know that the engine guard on my Rebel is made for a CA250 & I'm thinking that it should match, but I don't have any positive proof yet.

If the Alloy wheels fit, how many others would like some? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. At $26 each, & having to buy 100 of them, (hopefully/set & not each), I'd be out about $3000 including taxes & maybe more with import costs.

Lee, I believe that you have at least the alloy wheel on the back of your Rebel. What do you think?

Alibaba has an option where you can order a sample.

Thank you, I have been trying to find something like that. I'll search & let you know.

If they fit, you might want to order 100 and resell them! The mag rim (not sure what brand) on my second generation 250 needed a washer on the axle shaft to keep the brake drum from binding.

Find out any more on these ? I may be interested.

I'm trying to get a set to test. They are not a user friendly website.

They finally got back with me.....

"This style is not in stock now, we can provide you —— other style （stock） , and then you can to test"
And, sent me a wheel catalogue pdf to look at?

How can one make a decision about a specific item without being able to test that item? Especially when contemplating buying 100 or more of each for others that may want them.

I'll continue to research other options and keep posting accordingly.

Yea, internet shopping can be real iffy.

I am now contemplating using the CM125 rims. The front would be the same, but the back wheel would have to be a lower profile tire due to it having a 16" rim.
If I went with 120/90 16 tires, they'd be .39" thinner & .29" larger dia. meaning .92" larger in circumference.
I think that this combination should work. There are about 4 different variations of rims available from that company. So logically, some should be available to try a test.
I'll need to do some more calculating & checking before I try these though.
I believe that this is where the 3.4 tanks that many of us use on our Rebels come from. That's what they were designed to use.
Many of the parts will probably cross over.
CM stands for custom, and CMX, from what we've discussed in other threads, means custom with something extra.

I just ordered the ones for the CA250. We'll see if they work & work out well.
I'll try to keep everyone informed.

They said they don't have any made right now. Soooo....
I'll try to figure out a different variety that may also fit.
