    Well I ended up spending 2200 on an 01 XR650L instead of the wheels. The pic of the Uly above still appears to have the same size tires, just wire wheels. I looks great, but the only reason I was considering was to make mounting TKC's easier.

    I'm not a fan of how the stock wheels look, but I'm not sure spokes are right either. Definitely different though. For offroad riding I would definitely want a steel wheel, they bend but you can bend them back. Cast will just brake and then you are boned.

    glad you came to your senses.. the rear would have been easy but the front you would of had to go with a completely different front end. the rotor set up just wouldn't work or you would of had to get a custom size rotor and relocate your caliper. besides a uly is more of a gravel road bike you'll end up putting a hole in the muffler if you really trail it over any rocks.

    I would rather have the stock wheels..Because they are strong enough for riding off road and they are tubeless..You can repair a tubeless tire easy.
