The rear wheel is a direct fit. The front wheel can be made to work with mods.

not 100% sure what all need to be done

something about 12mm axle bolt vs 10mm

That front wheel is made to fit a japan dio or a U.S. ruckus

front drum = 110mm
front bearing axle is 12mm
So you would have to mod the 10mm bushing to 12mm, and find a 110mm brake assembly.
What other honda scooter has a 110mm front drum brake?

Bumping this - Not sure you are right, Trafficjamz -

the bearings used, according to PowerSportsPlus, are 6200U - they have a 10mm inner diameter.
I purchased the 6200-2RS bearings for my new front wheel, they are 10mm and are sealed unlike the stock bearings.

Here is a good reference:

What kind of bike is it for? there are disk brake rims/ drum. the 12mm is for sym/taiwan bikes mostly and 10mm is japan ruckus/elite. do you want to swap you front end? there is alot of options.

:confused:

I was not talking about stock rims. I was referring to 12mm axle size of the wheels in the ebay link, that has expired long ago.
