That is crazy $700. Call Les from the vendor here PDM fabrication. he will set you up for a 1/3rd of that maybe.
Contact Rick Preuss at Performance machine in Cali. I just got this 1/2 of a drive hub for this big Victory billet wheel for $65 bucks.
I goofed puting grade 8 inserts in the stock hub, hub was too wide for a old project So this 1/2 hub is on its way.
How wide is that rim? A 200 won't fit on it??
I am selling this wheel for $500 bucks on ebay: Here is the drawing for the hub I am getting for $65

Z1kzonly, it is crazy, I did contact Rick at Performance Machine. He said he has touched every Chicane rim ever made. They stopped making that rim 20 years ago and they don't have any pieces or measurements for that rim either. They have your hub because it's a Victory, different rims than the metric jap bikes. My rim is only a 5", can only mount a 160 on it. I don't know how the hell that guy was racing with that rear with the nitrous?. Anyway I like your rim do you have the matching front?

Hello, no, not at all with the front! They are about a 3.5" wide. I see them for about $300-$400 hundred dollars, used on eBay.. Then you need their disc and brakes. Not for me! But . Yes Perf Mach. was the original wheel guys to make. The Famous "Puppet" (RIP) from "Racevisions" Always used these rims on the stuff he Built! Research Elmer Trett's Fuel Bikes, Bikes that Pup built, they all have flat plate Morris / PM wheels. From the late 80's & 90's

You can get a 180 on a 5" rim. A 160 in the narrow size for a 5".

With the current tire and rim set up, the brake arm had to be cut to go around the tire and the chain was just about touching the tire. I have to make modifications, so why not make them for a bigger tire? So I can make the current rim wider and I can have the bearing carriers wider as well. It only cost money, but a rim already done would be easier. More cost effective.

Today did a little cleaning and polishing.

It looks like RC Comp makes drag wheels. At least they did.
