- 2019 SRX
It appears Cat changed the bogie wheel design for 2019. I've got 500 miles on the SRX and found two broken wheels.
Spun the others and they are all out of round, hence the reason these let go....junk!! Looks like I might as well upgrade all of them.
What is the best wheel to put here?

Damn.....you would think items like wheels at this point in time would be a non issue.
You don't see these issues with idlers on other brands. Stud heads do help to shorten idler wheel life especially with the humps in these tracks.
I would talk to JT, his axle kits come with good wheels, so he would have good input on what to replace the stockers with. http://www.jtatv.com/STEALTH_BIG_WHEEL_KIT_p/stealth big wheel kit.htm

According to their website, it appears JT Racing only makes wheels for the rear axle.
My 17 RTX went 5500 miles without a wheel issue, so I was gonna go with those, but the 19 wheels are a little smaller at 5.5 inches vs 5.63 inches for the 17.
Will going .13 inches bigger be a big deal?

I would not think so,and my 17 ltx-le has 5000 miles on stock slides and bogie wheels,all still look good,so why not get the same ones you had in your 17 rtx.According to their website, it appears JT Racing only makes wheels for the rear axle.

the 141 mm wheels from skidoo work good
My SRX did the same so I put on some solid black wheels form Royal Distributing to give them a try

We do have a wheel I think will work well. They are $34.00 ea. Black only. keep a eye on those back wheels also. There the same as the small ones only bigger. We have a super duty all 4 wheel kit for the 19-20 models also. JTDamn.....you would think items like wheels at this point in time would be a non issue.

Are your wheels 5.5 or 5.63 version?
What is the biggest wheel you make for rear axle? Do you have 10 inch wheels and offset axle?

Do the Doo wheels use same 6004 bearing?
I'm thinking this is the closest in size and most cost effective option....plus dealer always has them!!

The first Apex idler wheels had the rubber on the perimeter come off the first season or so.
These are broken spokes!
Looks like they tried to give a "spoke" look to the new wheels.
It also looks like they forgot to test them.
Under warranty, you'll probably get the same wheels.
THIS is where a good company shows it's colors.....................hopefully the new GREEN is a good color from here on out

Its 2012 all over again! My 2012 POS ProCross couldn't keep a wheel on it either. Every single time I took it out it shelled wheels and/or rubber off them.
