Wheel Rings

[SmokinJoe@PJR]

I need to pick your brains a second... I need 8"wheel rings for my EX. I can get good wheels to put them in but I cant find the rings here. I would like to deal wholesale with a manufacturer or distributor. thanx

Call OMF or Champion. I have bought rings from both of them in the past. I had the cool idea to have them made at a local shop (bypass the middle man and get them cheaper). Oops cost twice as much. Expect to pay from $5.00 - $15.00 for them. It is ussually cheaper to sell your rims and buy new with rings already installed.

if you already have the rims have a local fabricator cut and weld the rings for you . i had this done and he only charged me $30 and i guarantee the rings are of equal or maybe even better quality than some of the ones that they have out on the market today. if you buy the rings from omf or whoever you are still going to have to pay someone to weld them onto your rims anyways:devil :blah

[nakomis0]

I was just talking to a guy that makes custom rings or something.
I personaly wasn't very interested, so I didnt listen much.

But heres his address, write em and see what he has...
teamred17@att.net tell him you from exriders, and you want them at his best price.:D

[UglyMotha™]

are you looking to buy large quantitys if so i'm you man, i can make any shape or size ring you want the more you buy the cheaper it will be if you want some prices let me know along with size and quantity if you want anymore info just ask away

[UglyMotha™]

also these are right off a cnc trump so it's not a in the garage operation

[redrider ex]

so what do you do just try to find some one to weld them on.

[UglyMotha™]

yes, they have to be welded in

[UglyMotha™]

for that matter if anybody what's rings let me know, i don't just do bulk i do individual and there pretty cheap and i can do any rim known to man and i don't have to make them like you see them just pm me with any ideas and i'll get a price

if i can draw it i can make it we have a laser here, so i can actually get bout 8 times more complex than that

[Sick0]

I wouldn't continuous weld the rings on. I would stich weld evey couple of inch jumping a round to I have the whole ring completely welded. Letting cool every couple of inchs. If you weld it in one long pass I would think you wrap the wheels from them heats.

[YZROOSTINYA]

ugly, can you make pipe guards? i keep burning my pants on my pro meg header

or does anyone no where i can get a guard

[Sick0]

yeah I bern the hel out of my pants too.

[YZROOSTINYA]

i found one on james lucky for 38 but it is kinda cheesy looking, can you do any better?

[lil400exman]

i thought wheel rings went on the outside to help hold the tire on??? i guess they go on the rm but i would like the help my tire from comin off the bead.........correct me if i am wrong..........................

[OCCRA288]

Wheel rings are just to reinforce the rim. Beadlocks hold the tire on.

[spropson]

[lil400exman]

ok my bad ur right yeh i am interrested in all 4................................for my 250r i will pm you on monday............
