An elite E engine is basically the same as the spree. Either spree or another elite E rear wheel is what you want for oem fitment. 1.5"x10" I believe.

On the spree and elite E the only spline options for a rear rim is the elite E or spree. The splines are different on the spree/elite e compared to an af05e, af16, metro/ruck etc. So you are not able to use them.

@1man8scoots did you read my post? it worked w my vino....
you're talking about your YAMAHA working, not the HONDA. If you know it works go for it even though we have all told you it won't work.

ummm Yamaha is Japanese???? you said it would not work on any Japanese bikes, and i disagree. I was just trying to repeat what i did to my yamaha with my honda but i guess it won't be that simple. i will prob just buy a spree wheel or a better tube

I'm not sure what your problem is, but I stand by what I said the FIRST time. CHINESE cloned wheels will NOT work on a JAPAN HONDA engine. I assume you can't read or you chose to ignore the simplicity of the sentence. Never did I say a single thing about your yamaha not working with a junk Chinese rim. Reread what I just quoted and tell me where I said anything about your yamaha not being able to use a cheap piece of junk Chinese wheel. It's sad, really sad.
I wonder about people sometimes.

Surprise us with your infinite wisdom of Chinese rims that have never been found to fit an elite, especially an elite e.
Don't take my advice big guy, pave your own way since you know so much more than everyone telling you what will not fit and what will. We know nothing and you are correct.
Just an fyi, I am relaxed you're getting by with my relaxed tone.

Spree rims are very abundant and I'm sure multiple members on here have one available for less than $100.
All the info you need has been stated already. Forget the Chinese wheels, unless you want to just find out the hard way.
Is it possible you are installing the tube incorrectly??

you missed the point entirely. i posted here to see if this was possible or if anyone had done it, i guess not. mission accomplished. i never claim to have "infinite wisdom" of chinese wheels lol. but apparently you are the zen master of the honda elite

Brilliant^

1man8scoots sounds about like 1woman8cats or 1kid8facebookprofiles. Too much time on his hands to spend arguing nonsense. If you find a chinese clone with wheels that fit I'm sure that info would be much appreciated. I'd probably start with GY6 stuff or Ruckus/Metros but I don't know much of anything about it.

Bragging about the number of scooters you own is IMO like bragging about how many "just alright looking" chicks you've been with.
