Still looking... Schwinn 26” S2 Non Knurled Chrome Wheel

Still looking for one of these...
Can anyone shed some light on what this wheel is exactly? I know the early S2’s weren’t knurled, but I highly doubt this is one of those. Is it a 80’s/90’s reproduction Schwinn wheel?? I haven’t found a similar one online.
I’m starting to get a little impatient with this build so I’m exploring wheel options... as I mentioned previously the rear wheel is laced to a Sturmey Archer three speed coaster brake with custom skip tooth sprocket. The easiest solution would be to find a matching front wheel (or hoop I can lace up) and be done with it. Since I’m having problems just finding a picture of a similar wheel, I’m beginning to loose hope with that option. I also have the original ND rear hub, so I theoretically could build a wheel set with whatever hoops I choose. But I’d rather not invest a lot of time and money for a bike that I’m just going to end up selling to a friend for too cheap anyway!
Maybe I could just throw any front rim on there and be done with it, sell the original hubs with the bike and let the owner do what they wish with them...
