Broke down my M-10 suspension for the first time since I bought my SRX a year ago. One of the aluminum wheels at the back and in the middle of the suspension has multiple spokes with breaks all the way through. I have attached a picture and was wondering if anybody knew which company made them? The outside aluminum wheels are fine and I want to keep those on the sled its just the inside ones. Also, if im going to replace the inside wheels could I go with plastic instead of aluminum? Would I lose any speed by switching those inside wheels to plastic?
Thanks,
Thanks,

I dont see any pic, but sure, you can replace with plastic wheels of same diameter, it wont slow down the sled.

Doesn't look like there a lot of metal support in the spokes. I've done extensive searching on billet wheels for my Viper, but have not seen that design on any site I've been too. Maybe somebody had them done locallly.

Thanks for your help. As long as those plastic billet wheels wont slow me down thats the rout I'm going to go. I like the look of the aluminum wheels but they are so expensive.

Yea they are. I just bought some black ones from OFT. Cost me just north of $500 for the 6 wheels & axle.
On the SXR I have 8" aluminim billet outers and 8' plastic/rubber inners from a Kawasaki. The bearings are larger than Yamaha OEM.
Maybe
I don't know for sure but those looke like they were made by High Performance Engineering & Machine. They made a lot of nice wheels at one time but they went out of business. I also notice that the rubber has fallen off the inner wheels which was a common problem for that company......the people they outsourced that part of the job too aparently didn't have a rubber or adhesive that could hold up. In any case.......if they were made by High Perf Engineering & Machine you are screwed. If you want billet wheels look for some alternatives. Maybe Wahl or Mountain Machines or any of the others.......get your new ones without the rubber then you'll have one less thing to worry about. Or, as mentioned above just get some plastice wheels.

Yea I looked for those as well, but no luck. They didn't show them listed anymore.

Thanks for your help! I ended up getting some plastic ones and just putting them on. Got the m-10 all back together and into the sled. Just have to grease a couple of zurks, clean the carbs, put everything back together and head up north to give her a run tomorrow!
