I bought some rims a year ago but can't remember where. The thing is,
there are very few available nowadays. The ones I got were Velocity,
from a dealer in the US.--

Depending on what you're looking for, ebay. There's a lot of NOS (and
NNS) stuff there, although a lot of it may not be strong (heavy)
enough to withstand building into contemporary 10s wheels with a lot
of dish or low spoke counts. Nevertheless, over the course of a couple
of months you will see much more variety than you see at almost any
bike store, online or brick and mortar. -

Online? Ebay.
Or better is the dead storage of established race shops. I don't think I
have ever paid more than $10 each for great new rims such as Sun 19As or
GP4s or Campy Victory. In this way I have compiled a stash of at least 20
new 28, 32 and 36 hole rims.Or just buy the wheels whole. Last month I bought a new track front wheel
with Record high flange hub for 40 Canadian pesos. -

28/32, and they stay truer than my Super Champion Record Du Mondes
with 36 spokes each (I weigh about 240). -

When I searched just now:
http://search.ebay.com/Bicycle-Tubular-Rim_W0QQfromZR40I got 7 auctions two of which were Whizzer rims, so 5 total.
We have more than 5 _models_ in many brands, not counting color and
drill. For example:
http://www.yellowjersey.org/cherchi.htmlcurrent rims are $60 & up.
Where do you guys shop anyway - where someone cannot rebuild a smashed
wheel with a new rim???--

You may call Peter at 303.440.3535 or our own Wheel Goddess Mimi at
608.257.7733 or pretty much any competent LBS which commonly services
bicycles.Rebuilding a wrecked wheel with a new rim is all too common a job,
hardly a rare event nor a rare item.

See below Andy's comments. Many bike shops have the ability to pick up
the phone, take an order and ship it somewhere else.
