I'm looking into buying rims for my Phat cruiser in the near future. What is the actual width of 24x1.75 or the 24x2.125? Are they actually measured as stated?
Thank You in advance.

It seems that their sized by the tire that they are intended for. You wouldn't measure anything on the rim that was actually 24" in diameter or 1.75" wide. In my experience, rims labeled 1.75", for example, can lead to various different actual rim widths. The sizing convention of bicycle wheels/rims/tires is not particularly logical and confused the heck out of me when I first started playing with this stuff.
If the rim has a millimeter measurement (ex:39mm) that is a bead-to-bead measurement. Inch measurements are more about the tire that will fit, as stated above.

Felt has those 24x50mm rims on some of their bikes and you can buy the wheels from their website or you can get them this place.

I also found these guys in Germany, they have rims that are 47mm and 56mm. Too bad they are in Germany, they have all the cool stuff over there in Germany.
