500 7 spokes wheels fit a 4.3?

[laz11]

Just wondering how costly it is to fit the 500's seven spoke wheels onto a 4.3?

just the cost of the wheels, they are a direct replacement.

OK, so how much should I expect to pay do you reckon for a set of four?

a lot - IF you can find a set, they are now out of production and are like hens teeth to come by second hand.

expect to pay around £100-£150 (probably more) per wheel and that the front and back are different sizes.

you would be better off to go for an aftermarket set - cheaper, easier to get, you can go for even bigger sizes/offsets and you get a touch of individualism.

Yeah I see what you mean, bloody expensive. Not sure about after market wheels but thanks for the help

I've just ordered the spider wheel conversion for my Griff 500, so if you can wait till February, my old set of 7 spokes will be for sale. Excellent condition with 4 nearly new Toyo's on. Reasonable price aswell.

I'd have thought that with all these Spider conversions, there must piles of the old 7-spokes building up, no?
