nos RM500 FRONT RIM

[Ktm181]

Gents,
looking at buying a new old stock RM500 front rim, my question is has anyone bought one recently and do they still look the same as the original as far as finish and ...well.. looks??

I bought a "supposedly" "almost perfect uncracked" rim from a forum member but once tyre removed found a half dozen small cracks...doesnt want to refund either, so either looking at nos OR maybe a pair of new i guess.

Who has found a source of rims that look like originals???

cheers,
Kt

Hey Kt, have you tried Buchanans in CA?

Their website is http://www.buchananspokes.net/

Maybe they can help you. I bought a perfect NOS DID rear rim for my 73 CR250M from them once.
They are great to deal with and will ensure its drilled correctly for your bike.
