Check out Ebay, I got a couple of sets of fat spoke 50's off there. Look at the sizes and the rotor and pulley fitment. Most of them come with 3/4" bearings and if you use the check fit function it will say it won't fit for that reason. I just do what I posted and then have the bearings swapped and have had no issues. If the bike you get does need the 3/4" bearings I would have the end play checked when you have the tires mounted as I have heard the setup from the company can be hit or miss sometimes. I just did a Sportster project and got both fat spoke 50 wheels for it off Ebay for less than 500.00 and they are sealed rims and use tubeless tires. Good luck on your project.
