- 2014 SR Viper RTX
My 2014 RTX-SE's front inner wheels are shot! I'm studded and the outer circumference is worn badly and no longer round. I believe the steel stud backers are chewing these up. They still spin freely but I want to replace before they get worse. What are you guys finding to be the best wheel and value for replacement? OEM or aftermarket? It's #28 in the illustration and Yamaha P/N 8JP-G7310-00-00 (I think it's since been superseded). I see a place on eBay selling them for $19 each, but are they any good? Thanks in advance.

Probably be best to go with JT wheels since you are studded.My 2014 RTX-SE's front inner wheels are shot! I'm studded and the outer circumference is worn badly and no longer round.

JT was out of stock, as were some eBay sellers. Barn of Parts had them and I had in a couple days. Spent a few bucks more and got the heavy duty (thicker rubber) ones.
