I commute to work on my bike and also ride single track with it. I would love to have another set or rims, as dual sport tires can be lacking. Other than the aftermarket, what rims fit this bike? Years models etc? Any other manufacturer rims fit. The larger the pool to pull from the better chance to find a set of rims.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Hey bud,
In my search some of the older models can be made fit but you will be swapping spacers or dishing the wheel. I would recommend picking up a set of wheels from someone who is converting to supermoto (like me). I will be putting my dirt wheels on ebay depending on how it rides once converted. A set sold recently on ebay for 900$! they were in like new shape. Black rims (best looking) with rotors, sprocket, tires tubes etc. It was on my watch list for a long time along with anything "Husqvarna 449" or "Husqvarna 511"

In looking at Warp 9 site, it appears that the te449 rims are only interchangeable with 2011 and on. Don't know why I would buy rims for 900 bucks when Warp 9 sells them for 485 on ebay front and rear. Chaparral Honda has the rear rim with rotor and sprocket for 400 bucks.
