I am looking for a 18" Akront shouldered rim that is in reasonable condition,  no cracks or major flat spots, surface can need work/polishing.

Thanks

What hole count do you need for the rim, 36 or 40?  I have several 40 hole rims that are in good shape.

Oops sorry, 36 count on the spokes.

I have a 40 spoke but no 36, sorry.  I am however, looking for a nice "round" 40 hole sun rim 3" total width.  Thanks

I don't have any 36 hole shouldered Akronts.

I probably have a good Sun rim, when you say 3", do you mean outside of flange to outside of flange?

How nice of rim do you need?  I have a pair of NOS Hi-Point Sun rims and several used Sun rears.  How good of one do you need?  I really don't want to split the set of NOS rims up.

It doesn't have to be NOS but I am looking for a nice used rim for a restoration. No deep gouges, ham fisted tire iron marks and no flat spots would be greatly appreciated. :)

I went through the Sun rims today and I don't have anything that is not gouged or scratched.  Let me know if you want one of them and I will send it to you.

I have a set of shouldered rims that I got from Waldridge a few years ago. I never used them, front is 21 x 1.6 36 hole. Rear is 1.85 x 18 36TS.

Neither was ever even laced up. I would sell as a pair $275 plus shipping.
