Basically I need a 18x2.5 rear wheel that will fit the old 465. It's a plain brushed aluminum finish, not gold. The wheels are D.I.D & the rear is bent. Thanks

No, back tire hit a rock, pressure musta been a lil low, it caught just the left side of the rear wheel & bent the lip up, can't straighten it. Maybe a machine shop or somethin with some fancy tool could do it but it's not a spoke issue. I'd post pics but I don't know how off of a cell.

You don't have one do ya Moto? It's just a plain brushed aluminum finish 18. Personally, I think gold or even black would look total Badass on it but I'd have to find a front wheel also to convert to gold.

I checked, there are a bunch of plain 17's. I need an 18. I did see some 18's in gold, anybody have an affective way of getting the gold off?

Thanks Bones,I went ahead & ordered this^ wheel. Hopefully it'll be ok, the bike needs a tire anyway & the listing says this Kenda is pretty good. Anyway, I took the wheel to work with me & took the tire off of it today & a couple of the guys there were nice enough to help me out when we had a few minutes. The wheel straightened up decent but I'm super picky so I went ahead & ordered, no biggie, I'm gonna buy this bike anyway I like having it around that much. I may even use the engine as a mock up engine on my spare Warrior chassis. The bike needs just a couple cosmetic fixes & I think I'm gonna end up powder coating the wheels black. My plans are to slowly straighten up the bike, give it a topend rebuild, & let the guy (Scott) over @ Xtreme YZ to bore & cut the jug, get me a pipe & some Tassanari reeds. Basically I wanna make the bike more fun by making the powerband more usable instead of just punchy/peaky. I guess I like it alot cause it fits in with the kinda stuff I'm into, old cars & such, Harley's, etc. Looks real cool hangin out with the Warrior too.
