    Rims

    Finding new 32-hole, 26 inch silver rims seems impossible these days. Besides the crazy priced NOS stuff that appears on eBay every so often does anyone know anywhere that sells them? I've got some nice NOS hubs that I want to build in to nice new wheels but it seems impossible. I thought I was...
