Please read below for additional information!
NOTES:
- Does not include hub. You would need to purchase the appropriate hubs depending on your application.
- Please be aware that the chamfer process is carried out to the best of JHR's ability, but due to the DWT blanks not being perfectly flat at the center and exhibiting a bulge where the halves are joined, variations in the depth and visibility of the chamfer may occur. One side might have more chamfer than the other and some area might not have any chamfer due to the thickness variations from the spun process.

Note: These Douglas 12x5 rims were machined so that it would work with the Kymco Rear Hubs without any additional modification to the Kymco hub. The center bore diameter hole on these rims are machined larger so that it would fit the center bore step of the hub, making these rims hub-centric. The bolt holes are oblong/oval so that it would be the correct 4x140mm bolt pattern. Flat washers or dress up washers are highly recommended to cover these holes. The bolt holes being oblong will NOT hinder the integrity of the wheel, it's solely visual only, hence the reason why we recommend running washers under the bolts to cover it.
The Kymco Hub and this 12x5 rim will sit slightly off-center to the right approximately 3/8". You could adjust the left side engine bushing to accommodate this OR you could run it as-is and it will ride fine, it'll just look a little off-center to the right, only if you look hard you'll notice.
Due to machining, there may be some small scratches around the rims. Mirror/show polishing service is available for an additional $60 + a 5 days lead time.

SPUN ALUMINUM RIM NOTE:
Douglas Wheel Technologies (DWT) rims are made from spun aluminum, which is originally designed to be used with off-road vehicles, such as ATV and UTV. All Douglas rims have a slight wobble or run-out since they are designed for off-road vehicles that are used on the sands. It's industry standard for spun rims to have some run-outs or up and down movement. The llip edge may contain some slight blems or imperfections as DWT does not package the rims with enough protection during shipping, therefore it's DWT standard to have some blems/imperfections on the lip edge. DWT made their wheels with the intention of them being used hard in the dirt and sand. If you want high quality rims, please look into Chimera Engineering Wheels (CHW).
