Id say get one of those cheap roller packs off ebay or dudes on hondaspree.net to figure out what will work best for your riding..... or just be impulsive like me and buy a couple packs of whatever....
If you have to go up lots and lots of hills like me, youll need light ass weights. Once you figure out whats best for you check out Treatland.tv (awesome site) they have Malossi rollers for $12.99 and Polini ones for $16 (2nd page) and probably not much shipping for you.
I have KOSO rollers in my aero right now and have been pleasantly suprised at how long theyve gone without getting flat, jiangwayne.com has POP rollers for under $10 but I think shipping is kinda pricy for small stuff from Vancouver.
I AM JEALOUS OF THE MET RIM.....
Honda wants arm and leg for that and nobody is selling there spares local... damn.

Also, in case you've never pulled the variator before:
(MY SPECIAL METHOD, EASY AND BASIC TOOLS)
1- Pull airbox (maybe not on elite but for sure on Aero.)
2- Pull transmission cover and kickstart lever off
3- PULL FAN SHROUD ON OTHER SIDE OF ENGINE - EXPOSE FAN
4- HOLD FAN WITH HAND, REACH OVER SCOOTER AND CRANK FIXED PULLEY NUT WITH 14mm RATCHET!
5- Remove fixed pulley, squeeze belt to give it slack and pull down, check for belt wear!!
6- Pull the variator off the crankshaft. Undo the 3 small bolts and BAM! Theres the rollers!
In your case, keep the pulley boss and chuck that big RUCKUS variator on with it.
7- Replace the ramp guides too if theyre worn, and remember assembly is simply the reverse of what you just did. REMEMBER TO PUT THE BELT BACK! (Duh!)
*When you put the fixed pulley back on, it will straighten out as you tighten the bolt because of the belt. Dont worry, just make sure your not threading the nut on the crank and the fixed pulley will line up*

Be prepared to do this alot.
Tuning rollers is something youll do because ive heard peoples
rollers getting flat spots within 1000mi if theyre cheap.
Im going to try something a little different next time and mix 3 lighter weights
and 3 heavier weights too... i know people do like 8's and 9's to get 8.5's but im thinkin
10 and 7 will get the same result and HOPEFULLY not to over-revving at takeoff.....
