front wheel, what am I looking for?

So I'm going to hit up the local salvage yards here in Houston this weekend in search for a set of wire spoked wheels for my 77kz1000. I already have a line on a rear wheel, but I have some questions regarding the front. As I'm sure y'all are aware, labeling and organization has never been the defining characteristic of a salvage yard. Therefore, what am I looking for when searching for a front wheel?
19x1.85 and 4 holes for the brake rotor, yes, but are there any other defining characteristic or measurements anyone knows of?
Regards,

I think the front axle is 17mm and the rear is 20mm.

You're right, I was talking about the rear axle, I guess because I screwed up reading the post :blush:
