i thought ive seen some 77 or 78 TS's with alloy rims and maybe 78/79 USA model DS suzukis with alloy rim.

anyway im looking for a alloy rim from one of these models in 18 x 185 it doesnt have to be perfect, but as long as its not cracked and covered in alloy cancer. i dont mind if it needs annodizing

what width are the RM 125 rims?

On the subject of rims I'm after one too (second to LWC! :)).

Alloy, 1.85 X 18 to suit a 74 Suzuki TM 125. Non mud catcher type but has imprints like eye brows around the spoke sockets.

Cheers

Brent

PS Leith I hope to have access to a camera THIS weekend.

just out of interest, the TS185B/C from 1977/78 had alloy rims as standard in the 1.85 width, These rims run the small lip and are not the same as the earlier rims on the TM's but still lace up ok. The '76/'77 TS250 and TS400 also sported alloy rims and the RL250's uses TM125 wheels front and rear.
