Diff. between 2009 and 2013 met wheel?

[dustflo]

I see that 2009 was the last year the metropolitan came with a 90/90-10 tire. The newer model metro's starting in 2013 come with a 80/100-10 tire.

My question is this..are the wheels/rims, whatever you call them, the same size? I see the tire size has changed but are the wheels/rims the same size?

I have met wheels on my 97 elite50 but my rear wheel was bought used and has a little wobble, now it wont hold the air anymore. Could be the valve stem but I'm ready to just get a new wheel/rim instead to remove the wobble.

And the only reason I'm wanting a 2013+ model wheel is because they come in black and 2009 and below come in silver only. I like black

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Metropolitan wheels are black for the 2008 "Gothic" and "Monza" color schemes and 2009 "Graphite" and "Monza" color schemes (I think the wheel color is actually called "Honda NH303M Mat Axis Gray"), and they are pretty common.

You can also get them from your Honda dealer.. just make sure you look at 2008 CHF50S, not CHF50 when you look at the drawings.

Both are in stock online or your local Honda Powersports dealer can order them for you.

If you look up the wheels on the CHF50, you'll end up with the silver ones.
