After some research, I found out that the Roketa rims are a 4x115 bolt pattern, as well as the 1989 geo metro hub is a 4x144.3. I'm thinking that the two are close enough that I wont have to worry about it and I can actually get matching rims.

Anyone able to confirm this?

If your buggy came with 8" or 10" rims, the bolt pattern is 4/110mm on the front and 4/137mm on the rear. If yours came with 12" rims, both front and rear are 4/115mm.

Funny you mentioned that... Not that I doubt PGH, but the last time I was working on the buggy, I ended up measuring the distance from once lug to another lug (not across from each other, but beside) and it seems that they are exactly the same. Am I doing this wrong? Or maybe the stud's are different size which makes the difference.

I have not seen the 4/115mm bolt pattern on 10" rims. Check those front hubs again and see if they are 4/110mm which is common (remember you have a Goka variant and not a true Roketa).

If the hubs are 4/110mm, I wouldn't be surprised if the 4/115mm GK06 hubs would fit your spindles.

So very true that is. I Need to check that out again.

It would be nice if GK06 hubs fit on...not something I would want to spend money on, but it would be nice to have nice matching rims and not black steelies.

4/110mm is common on Hondas. I have 12x7 3+4 4/110mm rims on the front of one Joyner and 12x7 2+5 4/110mm rims on the other one. Both run 25x8-12 on the front.

Nice tires and rims... I gotta say, I really like those. when u said that hondas are 4/110... were you going somewhere? You "got the wheels" turning in my head, so to speak. :lol:

The aluminum rims on the yellow 250 are from a Honda Rancher 350. The black ones are steel that can take a lot of abuse and be beat back with a rock or block of wood in the field. I have a set of blacked out aluminum rims waiting for new tires when the steel ones get too beat up.

Let me know what you are looking for and the size and I will find cross matches for you. If you want the same bolt pattern on the front and rear, you will need to spend money to convert the front. I suggest running the tallest tires you can fit on the front. The 250 Joyners are limited to 25" tires unless the frame is modified or the track is widened so they clear sharp turns.
