interchangable rims?

[theBSer]

What rims are interchangable with bridgestone? My rear rim has a chip knocked out where the brake hub fits in and I'm looking to get new rims....any ideas ?

Is this for a 175-200? 

Do you mean brake drum rather than rim?  A picture would be a big help!

It's for a 175dt and the brake hubs fine its the center peice of the rim that the spokes attach to

hopefully one of the 175 experts will jump in here, but I'm pretty sure that the 175/200's all used 18 inch rims.  350's are all 19 inch, and I believe all or at least most of the 100/90 and smaller used 17 inch rims.  Sort of limits the choice to just 175/200's as a source of interchangable wheels.

If I could find a set of rims from a newer model bike with disk brakes that would fit I would do that route....I'm looking to make this a old style bike with a modern touch....like a cafe racer meets crotch rocket with a touch of vintage styling.....
