Is your front a sun rim to match?  Or are you just looking for a wide aluminum 18 inch 40 spoke rim.  Drum or disc hub?

Dave500 has sun rims on his 500/550, they look good quality.. They are a smooth rim, not a drop center if that matters...

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

The front is a stock 40 spoke rim. My back rim is a 3 1/2 by 18 mag off a early model CBR. I want to keep with the nostalgia look and run a spoke rim with drum brakes on the back.  The 3 1/2 & 4 1/4 were the same price on the internet, but very pricey at over $350 for the rim. Just trying to find out what my options are...
