Yes. You might try eBay, though.

welcome

any reason that they were? maybe damaging the tire? hate to track something down if its going to do harm, ya know.

Thanks for the Welcome!

welcome Trim ring is an over priced cheap peice of plastic . Sometimes pops up on E-bay or some dealers still have them in stock.

Yeah, you would think for that price they would be metal. I just talked to a Rep. @ BRP and confirmed that they were recalled for not seating to the wheel tight enough. I found a shop out in CA that has a set but wondering if its worth getting them now after finding that out. Might just leave that 1 alone, and move onto the next mod.

My dealer still had sets of them for sale as of last week - saw them hanging there.

They are really cheaply made and look cheap - I wouldn't bother - they will only make your nice new rims look cheap.

The Spyder I test rode in the Spring of 07 had the wheel trim things on it. They were all cracked and had pieces broken off of them. Would not advise putting them on your machine. Just my opinion, of course.

I thank all of you for your advice, saved me some easily wasted money by not buying them. Happy Ridin to all!!
