Does anyone know any sources of black 349mm 36h wheel rims? I'm looking for one to spoke a Q100 motor into. Preferably UK/EU or China, not USA. Even a factory in China which could possibly make them to order would be useful.

Look to be very hard to get in black outside USA and likely about twice the price of a silver one landed. Any reason why you won't buy from there ?

These guys will export by the looks of it :

Bike Parts Store - Gaerlan Custom Cycles

SJS stock it in silver - but you probably already know that !

Thanks, might be worth a try...usually high US shipping costs kills the deal..

Not always - German shipping can easily run to about £20-£30 so any low value imports get pricey. Advantage is that $:£ is about 1.66 (or was when I bought a week ago anyway) and so the part cost is usually about half European prices to begin with.

US imports do tend to attract full duty and VAT on shipping and part cost though - our friends across the pond are not generally helpful as a matter of course when it comes to such matters !
