i see respoking kits ,but would prefer a complete assembled wheel,do they sell them complete?,my bikes rim is 2.50x17 thanks

any particular reason you dont want to just respoke? it's not all that hard to do and even if you had someone else do the respoking it would be WAY cheaper than buying a whole new assembly, assuming that a full wheel assembly is available

[mustangcar]

yeah your right,i should just send the rim for rechroming ,i'll try to tackle the respoking and trueing,if i find it too much i'll take it in ,I only found respoking kits for the rear in 18 inch,anyone try respoking by doing one spoke at a time?

I've changed broken spokes one-at-a-time, without pulling the wheel off the bike, but you can't replace the nipples without deflating the tire and pushing the tire and tube aside.

I would like change my rear rim to a wider alloy and try respoking myself.
Can a rim from another bike be matched to the CB500 rear hub?

The rim is an Akront 18"  3.5  D40  -680-

Thanks Jim
