Arrow Wheels!

So I am looking for a second set of wheels for my 07. I have it set up with some meaty desert ITs and I want a second set for street tires. I don't mind changing over wheels every now and then. I'm looking for a second set of wheels, sprocket, and brake rotors. Where is the best place to look? Any good online retailers?

Thanks!

i had the desert IT 110/18 with a trakmaster in the front when i sold my klx last week. only had 1 ride on the maxxis and i felt it to be so-so. didn't really blow me away. i was hoping it would last me awhile, though. turns out it outlasted the bike. ha-ha. hope the next owner digs it. he or she will surely be getting a bad--- bike. oh yeah, about the wheel, DON'T order the warp 9 racing wheelset. it dosen't work for the klx250S. i had 'em shipped in for nearly a thousand with tires, rim strips, rim locks, HD tubes and all, then they didn't fit. warp 9 was definately cool about the return. no grief, and cycle gear took back all the other stuff. took my money and treated myself to some sidi crossfire boots and an arai helmet. those boots are out of this world good. zero break-in. the helmet is pretty darn impressive, but words couldn't do the boots justice, they are that good. sorry to get sidetracked. hope that info helps as far as wheels are concerned.

Have a look here.

I can usually get used D-Tracker wheels for somewhere around $500, sometimes with rotors/sprockets, sometimes without, just depends on the auction. Interested, PM me and we can work out something.

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d84935646

This auction ends today, and the starting price is $650, plus shipping. As you can see, this one comes with usable tires, sometimes they don't.

Thank you! Quite a help. Seems like there aren't many parts sites that have anything for our bikes...

I am also watching a set of blue wheels, but the spokes have a little rust to be cleaned off. Most of the good parts come from over here anyway, and this bike has been on the roads here since 1998 or so.

Your stock ones are 19" rear and 21" front, I think. The only hubs that will fit are the KLX and KDX220, as far as I know.
