If you often ride your classic scooter on long distances you might prefer wheels with modern, low maintenance bearings. Hence these complete, ready-to-install wheel assemblies work as stock replacements but feature an upgraded hub with modern tapered roller wheel bearings. To add to the authentic look the black 18” rims have the correct design and a Kelsey-Hayes (KHW) rim stamping. The hubs accept all stock drum brakes.

Star Hubs with Tapered Roller Bearings

Special wheel axle kits are required, OEM  axles will not work or must be modified.

KHW Stamped Rims

The KHW stamp on the inside of rims stands for Kelsey-Hayes Wheel, which was a manufacturer/supplier for The Motor Company.

Possible assembly fault and brake drum failure.

Some brake drum/wheel hub combinations require one or more spacer shims (front W&W 27-748, rear 27-746) to prevent them from touching the hub’s spoke rim. The brake drum must not touch the hub’s spoke flange. This might result in the drum breaking when tightening lug bolts.
