I am looking to buy two new rear rims for my 2007 DS650 X. I was riding and bent the two OEM rims. Unfortunatley this is common on the DS 650's. The OEM rim metal seems to be a little soft for some reason. I was told that it weighs less.
I am looking for suggestions on what type of rims to buy? Not everyone makes rims for the DS650.
I was also told that you can use a diiferent width rim, is that true?
Will the tire actually beed to a wider or narrower rim?
Below is pictures of both rims.
