I think you're right man. They do look a lot like Rad mfg. I need to change the bearings is why I'm asking. Are they gonna be an odd ball size bearing?

I had the same problem identifying mine. Thought they were RAD and called them. This was in October /November rime frame. They were helpful in identifying mine. Weren't RAD but were Dna hubs. Mine look very similar. Same issues with bearing sizes too

Well shit. I was afraid of that. I'll have to maybe call around tomorrow to figure out this bearing issue.

I dont think they are DNA, pretty sure they are Rad. Im not sure on the bearing size. I have a bearing place near me that have any possible size if you bring in the old ones. If you have a place like that it might be an option.

Remove the bearings from the wheel. The bearings should have numbers etched into the outer race of the bearings. Any bearing supplier should be able to hook you up, Same with the seals.

yeah go to a bearing shop, they will sort it out. ID, OD, width and seal type should be all they need.

edit BMAX beat me to it

On a side note, I bought pro wheel rims and they cracked all the way through at Honey Lake MX. Someone else pointed it out and said that was common with Pro Wheel. This was back in 08 though

And most likely of much higher quality. Those wheel bearings are probably generic size like a 6003 bearing. The same with the seals. You can get good SKF, NAICHI, FAG or other name brand bearings cheap on Ebay.

Note: If you can't read the markings, you can measure them out with a set of calipers. The McMaster Carr website has the ability to select bearings by dimension. Then, you will know what you have.

Here's an email I got this morning from Gary @ Pro Wheels:

"Rims Plus I think was using Rad hubs. Those aren't mine but if you pull the
seals out you should be able to see the bearing size and get some
replacements.

Thanks,
Gary"
