Shamrock style wheels?

hollomonster · 01-08-2012, 10:24 AM

I guess douglas stopped making the plain shamrock style wheels? Do any other companies offer a similar style? Always liked the look of those

DWT offers the A5 wheels.

It is in a way somewhat of a shamrock looking wheel.

They have rolled lips. Also I know they are offered in a 3+2 or 4+1 offset.

I just ordered a set for mine at work the other day.

Do they make fronts and rears? Thanks for the reply. I'll look into it.

LSpindenIII · 01-08-2012, 09:14 PM

They make fronts and rears in different sizes. Also different offsets.

Now in Parts Unlimited they said that they are .190" think but DWT's site says .125" so when I get them I will have to check it out

How is the "X+X" measurment taken? what are the measuring?

LSpindenIII · 01-08-2012, 11:51 PM

They are measuring the wheel offset. Where the center plate that the wheel mounts, the measurement from the outer edges of the wheel to there.

So lets take a 4+1 wheel. On the inner side of the wheel, its 4 inches from the edge to that plate. Then from the outer side, its 1 inch from the edge to the plate.

Does anyone have some pics of what these wheels look like on the bike? I searched around but couldn't seem to find any.

I will real soon if you can wait. Looking around through Tucker Rocky today I found that DWT makes a few wheels are look like the shamrocks. The Rok-outs, G2's, Evo's and A5's all have a shamrock center

Yeah i'm in n o real hurry, just bought a set of paddles and need some wheels but won't be going to the dunes for a few months anyway.

LSpindenIII · 01-10-2012, 11:22 PM

Well here is a picture of one of the wheels. They showed up at work today and I geeked out.

the blue tint is just a blue film for packaging purposes. I will get more when I get the tires mounted and on the quad

Nice! How do the rears look?

LSpindenIII · 01-11-2012, 10:46 PM

I only got fronts as that is all I needed. The rears look the same just smaller and wider

Those almost look like drag cut wheels! I would think they would be lighter than standard blue labels?

LSpindenIII · 01-14-2012, 01:20 AM

Well if someone got measurements of blue labels, I can weigh these at work.

According to DWT, they are a .125" wheel but are stronger to the .190" red label.
I'm assuming its because of the rolled lips as the red labels do not have that.
