Picked up my Can-Am Commander 1000 XT today. Took it for a quick burn in the pasture out back then swapped to paddle tires for the dunes.

Those are OMF billet center beadlocks with Skat Trak Haulers in the rear and ITP Dune Stars up front.

The lugs are 17mm like a Teryx, but have a smaller stud. Bolt pattern is a 137mm (I think OMF uses a 136 and they fit just fine).

Headed to Dune Fest in Winchester Bay (Oregon) on Tuesday. Shacking up with Pete from Got Sand? Plan to do lots of riding with the Commander, but I am also going to hit up Muzzys. They are bringing their 850cc RZR S and 999cc stroker Teryx!

Can-Am will be there as well with a few Commanders for Demo Days.

Jon installed a panoramic and some side view mirrors from Axia Alloys on the Commander. I have these mirrors on my Teryx, and they are fantastic!

what kind of $ are they?

Can't speak for what the vendors sell them for, however, you are looking at around $180 for the panoramic mirror and around $200 for the two side mirrors.
