Everything has been yet reported, I'll just add this link to another cheap china 80mm rim that has narrow 36H (7.5mm offset) and are proven to be acceptable quality....http://www.stars-rim.com/english/product1.asp?id=742 I've laced many fat tires here for PedegoItaly and various customers, even 20" Fat wheels. those stars-rims are better than many others, at least they are pretty round and offer narrower holes than the standard.
Thanks for the reply, Panurge. I'm not having any luck finding a place to actually buy those rims, though.
Maybe I'm not explaining my concern correctly. The bike that I'm looking at is a fatbike with a 135mm rear dropout. I can't tell for sure, but it seems to me that it uses a standard single speed hub, and it just has an extra fat rim on it.
My concern is that the hub will be off center, because it seems like the hub motors usually are.
Do I just cross the spokes to the other side, and use longer spokes on one side than the other? Will that work for this frame?
