Does any one on here know if there are any sizing standards for BMX wheels? I need to replace the wheels on a We The People Zodiac (2011?). My youngest has bartered the bike from his older brother but hates green. I need to get a second pair of wheels to fit. I know they are 20" rims with Salt Plus hubs. I don't think he'll stick with it long so I don't want to spend loads on it yet.

Axle size would be your main one. Older bikes might have 14mm front and rear axles, but modern bmx's tend to have a 10mm front and 14mm / 10mm rear. I think.

Yeah just axle sizes. 10mm or 14mm. 10 will fit in 14 with spacers. Widths are all the same.

You could do what we did a million times. Just turn the bike upside down, spin the wheels and hit it with a black rattle can.
