The offset is referring to the point within the wheel were the center hub is attached. If you compare your front wheels with stock you will see the stock OEM wheels have the hub welded toward the outer part of the wheel.

The aftermarket wheels you have the hub welded toward the inner part of the wheel. This causes a wider stance, which will affect the steering.

Personally I would rather have the ugly, rotten, crappy OEM front wheels, which Mr. Honda designed and engineered specifically for this machine, than the shinny pretty ones. :-)

Our last "man-kart" was the yerf dog with the rear swing arm suspension and the front a arms really soaked up the bumps. We then moved on to FL350's and then Pilots then LT pilots, does it ever end?? How is your Pilot running? I would like to get to St. Joe as well or if you can get to Oklahoma at Little Sahara we get there 4 times a year at least. And don't listen to Adnoh about me roosting saand sandwichs. It wasn't me it was the wind, very windy in Oklahoma :-)

Are there any aftermarket wheels that would have the same offset or close to the OEM ones that you know of?

Haven't been able to ride lately...so many things going on these days and work taking up too much time. Eventually I'd like to head up to maybe Little Sahara but I need to get more experience, Pilot mechanical "know-how", and most of all -- time off. It'll happen its just going to take time. I lost a lot of time & money w/ that stupid 2-seat adult kart pictured in a previous post...I learned a valuable lesson--stay away from shit like that and stick to the "tried & true" stuff like Pilots & Oddys!

Thanks! So far I'm learning a lot and still new things I didn't know about.
