Honda RS 250 NX5 wheels

**Sergio Boris** · 03-06-2018, 03:19 PM

I have seen pictures of 1998 NX5 with 5 spokes wheels both on the front and back.
Can anybody tell me what brand they are?

thanks

Hello Sergio,
The five spoke wheels will either be Marvic Penta or Marchesini

Thanks Sennidott. How are they with respect to the original ones? Better? Lighter?
When buying a used bike is it a plus or a minus to have these Marvic?
The original ones (8 spokes) are manufactured by Honda?

Sorry if the questions look stupid but I am a newcomer

Not stupid at all Sergio.
Sorry, but I cannot tel you if the 5 spoke wheels are lighter the original wheels.
Personally, if i was buying an NX5, I would prefer the standard wheels.
The original wheels were made by Honda, but Marchesini produced them from (I think) 1998 onwards.
