he sells virtually every thing available to scooterists , i think he even sells a dc stator conversion complete with english made podtronic/wassel. he is one of the first dealers i try for anything and normally comes up trumps

Do these rims also come with nylocs or domed nuts? I seem to remember hearing that nylocs could be supplied, or that the domed are nyloc and the dome caps removed, can anyone confirm this?

They come with long domed nuts [plus flat and spring washers] that need a 12mm socket . They don't appear to have any nylon inside. Normal nuts won't fit the recess in the wheel and machining the recess bigger would compromise the thickness of the alloy.
Same as the SIP ones ....

A few observations .....
The alloy wheel weighs almost exactly 1 kg, a Tino "safety rim" :wtf: weighs 1.4 kg, a scootrs tubeless rim weighs 1.9 kg.
The alloy rim is approx 3 to 4 mm taller than the scootrs tubeless rim which I suspect won't make fitting tyres any easier.
A scootrs inboard disc fits with no issues and a scootrs outboard disc fits with no issues, both recently manufactured items. Don't take it as gospel that a 2 year old version will fit, try it first.
A Saigon Scooter Centre billet Pepperpot style won't fit, it may fit if you turn down the outer edge on the billet but that's not something I'd do or recommend.
A Sterling (Spaq) outboard had issues with the caliper touching the rim but I imagine filing a bit off the back of the caliper will solve that. Not tried a Sterling Pepperpot yet.
Edited ... a Sterling Pepperpot fitted with no issues.
