    REC Stuff is a great place for parts, and they are not marked up too much, However, I ordered those once and could not use them. If you are not concerned with them having a bead lock on them then you can bet this is the best deal on them that I had ever seen too.

    The K-lock is NOT included with this Rim, I think it was Kawasaki that coined the "K-LOCK" term, the little rim of steel just on the inside lip of the rim that "locks" your tire in place so when you are running low PSI the tires have a better chance of keeping the seal. they are popular which equals pricey...

    if you have a choice of bolt pattern, Tires unlimited has some ATV rims that have the bead on them and they are not too expensive. I ended up going with an ITP steel rim that was 15.95 each at the time and had a 3 or 4 bolt 100MM pattern. so far they are doing good. if you have a choice, the K-Lock rim seems to be the best bet in most peoples opinions here, I got away with a four bolt because I was building my own axel/hubs..

    I have heard that you can get the 5/4.5 in an AG supply for a decent price but was never really able to find them.

      I looked at the exact same thing for my Conquest. I end up not buying a standard trailer rim because they didn't have a bead lock lip like the Argo rims. I was going to use them to mount my old Runamuks so I could run my tracks. I am guessing they would work fine for that because the tracks would keep the tires in place. I wouldn't use them with tires on bare ground. Since the tires run at such a low PSI I would think they would break the bead a lot with these regular rims. I got lucky and the new tires I bought work with my tracks so I didn't have to buy another set of rims. - Ozzy
