Hi All,

I need to get a new rim for my 2012 BMS TBX 260. Rim info: MT3.50 DOT I found it on a few sites and was wondering if anyone had a preference on vendors. Can anyone share their experience and help me get back on the road? I'm looking for:

Price
Shipping Speed
Return Policy, etc.

Thanks,

Pam

Front or back rim?

Thanks, they were on my list of choices. Have you purchased from them before?

Not personally but I know others have with good results, they sell BMS parts.

Hi. First thing you want to be sure with this rim is that you are getting has the right brake pattern. I have the Vog 260, which is the same base scoot, but the Vog has a brake disc with three bolts and the BMS wheel has 5 bolts. The wheels should be interchangeable but if you have the different bolt pattern you'll need to buy a disc too. That said, I recently bought a new front rim for a ridiculously cheap price on ebay from this seller: .ebay.com/itm/United-Motors-UM-13-x-3-50-Front-Scooter-Wheel-Rim-Disc-Orange-Moped-Motion-/281129807438?hash=item4174a46e4e&vxp=mtr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.ebay.com/itm/United-Motors-UM-13-x-3-50-Front-Scooter-Wheel-Rim-Disc-Orange-Moped-Motion-/281129807438?hash=item4174a46e4e&vxp=mtr It was slightly scratched but nothing that I would not have done myself in a week! For the rear, I did not buy from BMS because it was very expensive and in any event they were out of stock at the time. I ended up buying a rear rim from madhouseparts.com for $127 delivered. Thing is, the return address was the same corporate name as Scrappy, who sells the rear rim for less than $100. I'd be curious to hear what you finally do.

Thanks for your replies. I ended up ordering from .ebay.com/itm/321401108995" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.ebay.com/itm/321401108995 . It was $109.99 which included shipping. It's supposed to arrive on Thursday, so I'll keep you posted. I called Scrappy Dog and emailed them a pic and answered a series of questions via email and I'm still waiting for a price. So then I contacted these people and they knew the scooter and got right back to me. So hopefully this was a good decision. It's starting to get warm and I'm ready to ride.

Good looking rim, good price. Let us know how it turns out.

The rim arrived with prompt shipping exactly as promised. So I would definitely recommend them and use them again. My friend looked at the rim but he had some questions about removing and we contacted BMS . The guy that answered the phone was Austin and he was amazing. He actually took pictures of a bike like mine that was in for repairs and showed exactly which bolts to remove in succession. Then emailed them to me the next day. And gave me his phone number to call back if we had any other questions. Kudos to BMS customer service. I will try to post the pics when I get a chance as a reference for anyone else.
