Rear rim question

Hello guys,

I have 2 questions:
My WM20 needs a new rear rim, as riding my original one feels like riding a camel,
As I pass the 70 KpH speed or so..

I measured the original rim, and it is about 75mm overall width, and another
good rim I have, is about 68mm wide, so I prefer to keep close to the original.
First question is, do I need a “MW2” rim profile for WM20, 1941? What are the measurements? (?x19”)
And second question- as I saw many very expensive rims on eBay, does anyone have any experience with Indian rims such as this one?

(eBay item No. 250533204002 )

I do not mind the quality of plating, as it’s going to be painted green, but I do not want the rim open up on me when
Driving 140KpH.
OK.. 80..

Thanks!

Re: Rear rim question

Noam lots of good information and quality here. You can also order unplated.

The rim size is WM3 which from memory is 3". It is also important that the spoke hole dimples are all pierced at the right angle for your application.
