Title: Need Help With Rim Identification
Post by: Big_Mike on March 13, 2016, 11:36:19 AM: Hey Guys, I just bought these awesome Douglas yellow label front rims from Trailburner (Heath) he gave me a smoking deal!

Neither of us are sure what style these rims are, I want to buy a new set of rears to match the fronts.. I know you gurus must know the style, they look like the Douglas A5's, but I don't think they are.. Anyone?

These are the rims I just bought from Trailburner:

I have a rear set like that with paddles on them, but I think they are Yamaha bolt pattern and they are brushed instead of polished. I'll check in the morning.

Post by: Big_Mike on March 13, 2016, 10:49:27 PM: I believe the rims in that pic are brushed.. Send me some pictures I may be interested even if they are Yamaha bolt pattern I have a banshee too... Please send me some pics and let me know if you'd sell me just the rims and how much you want.. My email is ammarca@optonline.net

thanks!!

Post by: Big_Mike on March 14, 2016, 08:07:38 AM: Joe, after searching and searching I thought the same, Douglas A5's. But I was told otherwise... They do look (and I thought they were) like the A5's. If they are A5's then what are the Shamrocks I hear about look like?

Post by: Big_Mike on March 14, 2016, 08:17:48 AM: Here are the Shamrocks and the A5's, they do look more like the Shamrocks.. Your thoughts?

Shamrocks left A5's right

Post by: JesseA420 on March 14, 2016, 01:04:36 PM: these are called dwt litecast quadroks
look the same to me.

obviously the cut outs are somewhat shaped different but that is going to vary from bolt pattern/wheelsize.

Post by: Big_Mike on March 14, 2016, 01:57:37 PM: Thank you guys I appreciate your information. So are the Shamrocks a beadlock and look very similar to the dwt litecast quadroks (which looks identical to the ones in my first post)? I prefer the non beadlock type like the dwt litecast quadroks. Are the dwt litecast quadroks still manufactured?

Post by: JesseA420 on March 14, 2016, 02:46:10 PM: hard to tell, id email dwt customer service to find out.
Title: Need Help With Rim Identification
Post by: Big_Mike on March 14, 2016, 03:05:21 PM: I did just that, I sent an inquiry to Douglas, they don't have a direct email on their homepage, just an information page and I filled it out and gave them specifics.
Title: Need Help With Rim Identification
Post by: Big_Mike on March 14, 2016, 07:40:22 PM: Ok well I have some closure, Douglas Wheels replied back to me this afternoon and I sent them a little the picture of the rims I purchased and they replied back to me:

Michael,

Sorry but these have been out of production and out of stock for years.

So I replied back, could you please tell me the name of the style of the rims at the time of production to help me better locate a pre owned pair.. No response as of yet I will report back if and when I hear from them...

Post by: Big_Mike on March 16, 2016, 01:46:19 PM: Update! JesseA, you were right bro! DWT contacted me back and confirmed these rims are indeed Quadrocks and they still have them in stock! Here is a pic that Douglas emailed me a short while ago! I'm ordering my rears from them today! Thanks for all your help guys!

Post by: Wrench U on March 22, 2016, 12:14:25 AM: Tucker Rocky or motosportoutlet also sold a "ROCK"brand generic of the same wheels. I have set with sand tires on them. It's a cast wheel with a tapered lug seat and a thick lip. I also like the look of the wheel.
