I was searching threads about using motorcycle rims for ebikes and really couldn't find any good sources for affordable rims. I'm located in Canada so it's even more expensive, usually 2x USA prices...... to buy local....
I came across this thread https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55458
which has this pic
but prices seem to have tripled since then...WTF??? Anyways those prices are not around any longer which is a real shame. A little digging turns up the same sellers current stock and prices.

I'm hunting for a 1.6-1.85 x 19 or 21" for a final 25/27.5" diameter and 32 spoke. I want the standard MTB wheel look.
In my search I have come across these as potential cheaper options.

THey don't have a aliexpress store front so my concern is they may not actually sell in smaller quantities or direct to consumer. Anyways I've emailed them.
This guy and the one below it may infact be the same seller, listing info and pics etc look the same. THese are also for a spoked and hub set, but I imagine the rim may be available from them for a significantly cheaper prices since the same hubs are listed at close to the price of the set.

This seller lists other available size etc, prices seem reasonable for the quantities.
