Wheels for Motor Trike

[Alan Oakley]

I am in the process of having my 09 wing converted to the Motor Trike IRS and I have a wheel question. Motor Trike has three wheel options (2 of which are a 400.00 upgrade) The wheel size is a 5 lug, 15x7 with a 4.25 bolt pattern and a 4.5 Backside setting. I'm not sure how common of a size this is but I would like to shop for some options. I'm not crazy about he stock chrome wheel that comes with the kit and would like to see others. Other than online, is a there a national chain some of you have used? Any suggestions? Being a teenager in the 60's, I still love the old Crager SS Wheels but I was told they were not available in this size so I am still shopping.

Thanks

Look for a Town Fair Tire or a Pet Boys in your area. I think you are going to be shocked at the price of wheels. http://www.townfairtire.com/tf2005/nwvWheelsByBrand.aspx?make_id=2&&img_src=images/wheels/ARE_t.jpg

Don't know where you live if they have one

Try one of the local car/truck custom shops, they have many wheel styles available. American Racing may have a similar style wheel to the Craiger Mags from the Muscle Car era. If you provide the wheel specs and style desired to a custom shop, they may be able to get something close. We have 'Rent A Wheel' in my area and they have some very unique rims, including spinners. Try the internet for wheel companies that may have what you want or close to it. I use a local supplier for car wheels when I change out trike wheels.
Thank you,
