Probably there are some posts but I was wondering if anyone fit their 150 with 13 inch wheels? In order to keep the same speedo ratio and riding dynamic as the original 14 inch rims what tire size would be best ?
I think the Nmax uses a 13 inch rim? advantages ?? Thanks for info.

The benefit of smaller diameter wheels is it allows the designer the possibility of bigger underseat storage and the tyres can be cheaper.
And that's it.
To retrofit 13" rims on a PCX would offer absolutely no benefit whatsoever.

Appreciate that info.. Very interesting...
The other aspect I was considering since I have a jet black scooter is chrome wheels. I think it would make it "pop" a little bit more . However, I cant seem to find anything chrome in 14 inch that will fit a PCX.I want to stay stock and keep the 14 inch wheel size but it seems my only option is to chrome plate the ones I have . Looking for options..Perhaps I haven't looked in the right places. Thanks for your reply .

Since the wheels are alloy polishing them would be better than chrome.
But it would begin to look like a tarts handbag.

My next door neighbour has n max and hates his little 13 inch wheels,looks Tonka toy ,in his words. Why would you want to down size ? He also has problems in getting 13 inch tyres also.

I think you mis read my intentions. I do not want to downsize to 13 inch. I am looking for a 14 inch chrome wheel for the PCX. I cant seem to find one that fits this scooter. I see that there are numerous 13 inch chrome wheels available, but I would only go that route providing a larger diameter tire is available to make up the difference on the overall diameter so the speedo and riding dynamic wont change that much. But prefer the 14 inch wheels for sure.
