I laced an early '80's DID aluminum front rim onto my Lifan, which was from a Honda XR200. My son was riding it a few years ago and hit a huge pothole, which turned the front wheel into something from a clown car. When I got it home and cut out the spokes, the rim popped back into shape. I was amazed.
I ordered custom SS spokes from Buchanan's and laced it back up. It's still on the bike today.
