What type are you interested in? Motocross sizing, Supermoto? It already has off-road for trail use….

Supermoto. Do the different types use different sizing metrics?

For the most part…..
MX/SX 21,19
Off-road 21,18
Supermoto 17 front and rear. Widths depend on what you can squeeze between the forks, and the swingarm. The wider, the better.
All this info is just to be used as a guideline, tons of combos can be had. Call up Dubya USA out in California, they build wheelsets for anything. However, remember, you could easily spend the price of your new bike again on custom wheels……..

I told my wife tonight that it may just be money ahead to get a street bike.
She just laughed lol

So is there anything more to it? Standard sizes, fork or swing arm widths, axel diameters, etc?
I’m used to cars that have stuff like backspacing and bolt patterns and tire clearances, all of which are pretty well standardized: ie truck X can fit 38 inch tires without clearance issues on 17 inch wheel Y that has Z bolt pattern and 123 backspacing.
This just looks like an ornate bicycle wheel.

There is a ton to this. Talk to a pro who builds these things….. I’m not a wheel builder by any stretch. For starters, NOBODY on here has the bike, or specs from it, to be able to help you build a set of wheels. Secondly, finding a wheel builder that would actually build you wheels for a China bike can be a bitch. Most won’t touch one, simply because they don’t trust the hub metals. They are liable to the wheels if they lace you up a set, and they have no clue who actually produces the hubs, or rims themselves. These ain’t Kite hubs, nor DID rims we are dealing with……. You are dealing with wheels here…. Pretty important piece of the puzzle. Solid, safe, professional built wheels, your life relies upon.

I've decided that I'm going with just street tires on the existing rims, the cost of a set of Supermoto wheels and tires is nothing less than $600 and thats a little hefty on price for me tbh. Thinking of going with a 120/90 on the rear and a 110/90 on front.
