I'm looking into wheels for the cruiser and noticed this width rim. Does anyone have any info on a wheelset with this rim width? What sort of weight limit would this wheelset have and any recommendations on a tire to run? I would think I could run the 1-3/8 but what about the 1.50 tire?

Those are generally for mini and jr cruisers, and would probably have about a 100 lb. weight limit. Unless you're 10, you probably want at least 1.5" wheels biggrin.gif

Yea, these are mini to expert cruiser wheels. My son ran 1 1/8 wheels with 1 3/8 Intense micro knobbys. As the other poster said they are good to 100-110 pounds max. I don't think you cam mount the 1.5's on the 1 1/8 rim. Anyone over 100-110 should really move up to the 1 3/8 rim or the 1.5's. You can run the 1 3/8 tire with the 1 3/8 rim but often this doesn't last too long before the kid outgrows it. So many just go ahead and move straight up to the 1.5's for not only safety but cost.
