I have a 16" Harley rim laced with new chrome spokes from my '73 Z1 900. It has the lip custom painted candy green, but it could easily be stripped and refinished to suit your needs. I'll strip the spokes and mail them to you for $10 plus shipping (they cost over $100, I just decided to go with Mags instead). The spokes will lace a Z1 hub with drum to a 16" rim. They are chrome, not painted. PM me if you are interested.

I have a 16" spoke wheel from my KZ1000CSR It is spoke with an aluminum rim. This means, no rust, ever. I would be willing to part with. You wouldn't have to change anything like the swingarm. I believe the disk is also still on the wheel and the tire is still good. Send me a PM if you are interested.
