I am looking at having to rebuild the wheels on two of my pushrod singles, the spokes are just too rusty to be safe.
Now all 4 rims are rusty with peeling chrome and in all reality I ought to replace them.
Now comes the interesting question, does anyone know where I might be able to buy some 17inch 32 spoke WM1 rims from. I would idealy like alloy, so that I dont have to deal with peeling chrome in the future, but otherwise I will have to look at chrome.

Chris, check out the Buchanan's website, maybe they can make you a custom rim. The closest thing I found was an aluminum Excel WM0 (1.40) x 17" blank, can be drilled for any hole number and pattern. I have seen this rim in person at their showroom, very high quality. The other option would be to go to a 36 hole WM1 x 17" chrome steel in a Mandap rim. http://www.buchananspokes.net/ Hope this helps, Jordan
