Aluminum rims for spoked wheels on vintage bikes?

[AimSmall]

So I'd like to get some black aluminum rims to lace up on my 75 CL360 hubs. Does anyone know where I could buy some that will fit?

Nice! Thank you. I sent the seller a question asking the diameter and width of the wheels too.

Any others?

You can try http://www.buchananspokes.net/ as well. They're expensive, but the best in the business, from what I hear.

Just called Buchanan and they can make them no problem. One week turn around. Sun rims in black or excel in silver only.

Be prepared to shell out for them though. For two wheels and spokes it's not unheard of to near the $1000 mark at Buchanan's.

Holy smokes! They said the spokes are $112 per wheel for stainless but I don't know the wheel size so I couldn't get a quote on them yet. I'll have to check the wheel size when I get home and call the back tomorrow.
