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:

Shamrocks. Sweet looking wheels.

Thank you! Now I have to find a set of rears!? Anyone have a set of rears for sale or know where I can buy them, new or used?

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.

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!!

Not Shamrocks. I believe any wheel that was labeled "Shamrock" was a beadlock wheel. they do have the same center though. they are DWT A5's.....

? or special order? maybe a quick call or email to DWT.

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?

Here are the Shamrocks and the A5's, they do look more like the Shamrocks.. Your thoughts?

Shamrocks left A5's right

Sinse your Google search isn't working, I used mine.

when I see or hear "Shamrocks" this is what they are.....

looks like Sam and I were posting almost at the same time. I took a pic of the ones I own

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.

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?
