72 rear rim

Anyone know where I might find a sound original 18” D.I.D rear rim. I thought I’d cracked it. Totally refurbed the hub, including new brake lining. Had the existing rim rechromed. Only for the wheel builder to inform me it has hairline cracks and is useless. Gutted! Lesson learned there for sure.

Apparently Julie......Hairline. I haven’t inspected it myself but the wheel builder is adamant they’re dangerous! Old age.....I know the feeling!

Well, how bloody strange. I've never know steel wheels to get hairline cracks, bends and buckles but not cracks. That is most weird.

Once I have the rim back I’ll see if I can capture said cracks and post a pic or two
