Search ebay under Arai, Araya or Ukai. THey both made them, but they are not easy to come by and in good to NOS they will be $$$.

i was thinking get a set of 24 felt hoops and have them annodized but that would be spendy. ano red rims are not done too much anymore everything is painted

Red anodized rims are great on a bike that you keep parked in your living room (and presumably away from any large windows). But anodizing fades pretty quickly under UV light, so if you plan on actually riding the bike and leaving it outdoors you can depend on winding up with blotchy pink rims in a matter of months.

Adam,
What do ya think they would charge over at A=! Plating ??

I wouldn't think the wheels would fade very fast. Just look at A&N fittings. They're anodized red and blue and seem to last years. All of the vintage Indy cars I work on have them from the 70's...still in decent shape. Just my .02 cents.
