that's all ;)

I got my Aero 50 running, but the wheel is severely out of balance and may be bent pretty badly.

Greetings:

Unknown on your question, but my guess is not.

However the Metropolitan rear wheel from any year is a bolt-on affair, wider for correctly-shaped 90/90 tire, and you can run it without a tube for a bit less unsprung weight. Brand-new from Honda for under $100, or try a WTB on TotalRuckus.com in the Met section. eBay has one pop up rarely.

Nope, will not work. You can interchange the wheels you mentioned between eachother but not with the 50. Look for any honda aero or elite 50 (not the elite E though) rear rim if you are looking to save some dough (buy a rim and tire shipped for what just a met rim would cost). If money is not a concern, buy a met rim and 90/90 as wheelman said. It will give you more speed and a better ride. I don't know about the unsprung weight part.
