wheel swap

Post by cdg1984 »

So i purchased a 1999 elite 50 yesterday, and the back rim is bent. My cousin has a sundiro ( cheap chineese crap ) 49cc scooter that isnt running. Does anyone know if the rear rim will fit? Thanks.

i just ordered a new back rim for 65 dollars, the metropolitan 08-09 S model cheapest fastest way to get a brand new rim. also its tubeless, supports a bigger tire and fully compatible.
