Looking to replace the rims on my '85-'86 CR250. What are the best modern rims to use? Will probably use Buchanan spokes. May consider going to a 19in rear for better tire selection. Any suggestions are most welcome.

I'm using Full Circle gold anodized rims on my Restos, and I know a lot of builders use them too.

Both Dunlop and Bridgestone have their top level MX tires in 18" sizes now - I'm going with the Dunlops

I'm throwing in another nod for Full Circle Racing rims. I just used them on my 1980 RM125 and they're perfect. I'll be buying more for my next restoration too.

I have SM Pro Platinum rims on my '86 scooter.

Yes they are still around. I used their rims on the 480 I did last year. The gold color they have is the best. The Excel Takasago gold is way too yellow.
