I'm looking for a rear 3 spoke rim to fit a 190 17 tyre, model etc doesn't matter as long as the sproket is on the left.
The cheaper the better as im on a limited budget for my first ground up concept build
can possibly also exchange for lathe work.

5inch is a bit small for 190.
5.5inch is common and 190 will fit but 180 is more suited for that.
6inch is more the size you would want.
Hard to find a good deal unless its been dollar reserved and nobody else really wants it.
Most want 200-350 for a wheel with disc and sprocket set up.

That's why I'm here not on trademe getting raped..
I did think about using a car rim again like i did on my current bike but the machine work in making a carrier for it all gets a little involed, and smallest I can get is 7"
Hopefully someone will have 1 they'll let go cheap..

Yeah not easy as 4.5, 5.5 and 5inch are the weapon of choice for post classic racers and 18inch converters and motards.
I had to buy one from ebay for my postie as it was almost impossible finding a spare wheel for wets of the exact model.
I think I paid $75usd for wheel and $80usd for freight but it came with almost new tire that I sold for $100 on tardme so I got lucky.

I have an oem ZX12-R wheel set sitting in the shed. Rear is straight as, complete with cush-drive & sprocket & rear brake rotor. It has a well shot 190/55 Pirelli Angel fitted (absolute shite) and I have the front also. The front has a ding, still rode straight but it's the reason I replaced the wheels.
PM an offer. I can arrange Mainfreight from my end if we reach a deal.

Will a 190 stretch onto a 7" rim?? A car rim is sounding easier the more you tell me

Its not to bad but its going to take time to find one unless someone here has what your after.
7inch sounds like its going to want a 200+ tyre most likely 240 especially if its low profile tyre your fitting.
Most new big sports bikes have 6 inch rears with 190 or 200 tyres on them.
