Hi Joe,
Welcome to the group! I believe the correct rim width is 1.85 and that they were made by Radaelli if you are going for original. I have a 1972 six day 125 which I have changed the rims to Akront shouldered rims which are period correct and were sometimes used when the steel rims needed to be replaced. Look on the home page under the production years tab for general information on changes to models through the years. You can also use the search feature to find previous discussions regarding topics like rim sizes,tire sizes,etc.
