I am searching for some new alumimum wheels to replace my stock steel wheels on my buggy. Searching on the internet is fustrating because all the sites ask what is your ATV? Mine is not listed. I have a BajaMotorSports Reaction 150 Buggy and that is not one of the choices. I know my present tire size and my wheel hole diameter and bolt pattern dimension. How do I shop for wheels? I want to find a site that lets me plug-in my wheel size and tells me what they have. How difficult is that?

Please help me find a place to buy wheels.
Thanks,
Alzwel

on my websight in the tire/wheels, then click on the atv catalog, you can go to the wheel section and look at the style and it will also show the bolt patterns.

Dennis kirk is pretty expensive. When I went through this last year I found it easier to pick out the style wheels I wanted then call the number listed on the website to see if they had them in the size, offset, and bolt pattern I wanted. After all that I went to the local ATV store and ordered them for about the same money. Just be forewarned that when going to an ATV store know EXACTLY what you want before you get there. Once you utter the majic words "go kart" they turn into zombies and can no longer help you.

Yeah, I was surprised how expensive the wheels are. I have aluminum wheels for my Tahoe that cost less. Thanks for the tip on the ATV store visit. I have seen the "zombie" thing happen to me before in several other stores. I doubt I will get aluminum wheels unless I win the lottery. I know they will give me some additional top speed due to the reduction of unsprung weight but they are mostly cosmetic. There are many other things to do that will give a bigger bang for the buck.

Thanks for your comment.
