Aluminum rims

where are some good places you guys have found for buying akront/excel/did rims. i need an 18 for the rear of my bike that i could use with the stock spokes if at all possible. i have been watchin ebay but not havin much luck. i have a DID for the front that should use stock spokes i just need a little fatter 18 for the rear. thanks guys.

i looked there but i would have almost as much money in a rear rim as i do in the bike. if thats as cheap as i can find em i guess i will just wait it out on the bay. thanks though, if i have too i will buy one new.

I am banned

"AKRONT WM6 (3.50) x 18" SHOULDERLESS RIM - 36 HOLE $234.50"

DIDs are even cheaper at $192.00.

$235.50 for a WM6 is a bargain. How much were you expecting to spend?

nowhere near $235, i guess im a used part kinda guy. you guys can have all the $250 wheels you want, i will buy em off ya when your done lol.

A thought... Google wheel building services for local possible vendors.. They usually keep servicable bits when doing "projects" I scored some used Acront mud slingers & "made to application" spokes from "Woodies Wheel Works" in Denver Co. for a Flat-tracker project once. luck G

I assume it is for a disc rear? I have a Drum rear i am gonna put on ebay soon it is in good shape but ugly because someone chromed it then the cat pissed on it and bubbled up and flaked. sad. I think it is 4 1/2 ish wide is that what you are looking for? I have a 16 inch 5.5 wide one NOS(just the al rim)

If you think $235 is bad... my front rim on my Ducati 696 was $1200 to replace.

Hi School Teach, What about the 16 inch?
What brand and how much for sale?
I am looking for that size rim. I have a 4" now with a 150 tire, and what to go wider for a 180 tire.

Thanks
