I have a 2004 KX250 (2 stroke). The wheels are straight, and good, however, the spoke nipples are seized, and not adjustable.
I recieved the bike this way, and intended to ride until I had an issue with it. No issue yet, but am thinking of getting black rims.
I have heard some companys will let you send in your hubs, and lace up new rims. Has anyone ever done this? Is it reasonable? I dont need top flight rims, as I am an old Vet D class rider who only rides 2 or 3 times a year.
Have seen complete sets as low as $500.00 on eBay etc... But have no issue with my stock hubs.
Prefer not to go hunting for prices at wheel co.'s, would like input from you guys.
Thanks for any info.

Don't use a spoke wrench on the outside or you risk distorting and ruining the nipples.
