Replacement wheel rim for R51/3

I have about six of the new repops wheels, I think these were done many years ago and thinking they are either Taiwan or Japan

I'll dig them out and shoot some pix for you

but I do have some very nice originals

painted steel, chrome, or low shouldered alloys with full width hubs

which type are you seeking?

I don't mind snapping a few pix of whatever so you can at least have a bit more digital info upon which to base any opinions

I have the half - brake hub bike. It is a 19" rim and is available in Europe for about 90 US $, and that is a bit expensive for a raw steel rim.

I would think it it is truly a faithful repop and of good quality

that sounds quite reasonable

I know some don't seem to be quite faithful

Hi to all.
I think I saw once a replacement for such a rim from a Chinese producer. Are they recommended? Are they exactly the same as the original? Where can they be found?
Thanks – Micha.
