Royal Enfield Rear Wheel Rim 3.5x18 Black 148532/A for Interceptor 650 & Continental GT 650

Royal Enfield 148532/A Rim, 3.5 x 18 inch, Black is a genuine rear wheel rim used in compatible Royal Enfield 650 Twin spoked rear wheel assemblies. It is the outer rim section of the rear wheel and is selected when the original rim is bent, cracked, badly rusted, dented, damaged after impact, or being rebuilt during wheel restoration.

This part is made for the rear wheel application on compatible Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 spoked-wheel models where the 3.5 x 18 black rim is specified. It is not a complete wheel assembly. The hub, spokes, nipples, bearings, rim tape, tube, tyre, rear disc, ABS toner ring, sprocket carrier and other wheel hardware are separate parts unless specifically supplied.

Use this genuine Royal Enfield rim when rebuilding the rear wheel to OE specification instead of using a universal rim or incorrect-width wheel part. Since rim size, colour, spoke drilling and application matter, always match the part number 148532/A and rear wheel diagram before ordering.

• Rim has cracks, flat spots or visible deformation
• Spoke holes are damaged or badly corroded

Why This Part Matters

A wheel rim is a structural part of the motorcycle’s wheel assembly. A bent or incorrect rim can affect wheel alignment, spoke tension, tyre seating, ride quality and safety. Using the correct genuine Royal Enfield rear rim helps maintain the intended wheel size, spoke pattern, visual finish and factory geometry of the 650 Twin rear wheel assembly.

For Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 owners, this is the correct direction when the existing rear rim is damaged but the hub and other wheel components can be rebuilt or reused after inspection.
