Hi all, signed up because I'm looking for parts. I have an old Honda I'm building up (yes I do realize this is a Harley forum), and I want to use wire spoke rims on it. I signed up here because I know such rims are frequently used on Harley's, and am hoping someone can point me in the direction of a source for cheap hoops and spokes. I'm going to be having the hubs custom made to work with my current axles, brakes, and shaft drive, just don't know where (other than ebay) to look for rim parts. I'm looking for 17" hoops, 3 and 4-4.5 wide.
Can anyone point me a good direction for these? All I've found so far is either complete rims on ebay or online stores that only seem to sell complete rim sets, typically starting at several hundred bucks. All I need are the hoops and spokes.
