Beater, I was thinking of using aftermarket hoops.
There is a shop that frequents the HAMB (guy goes by Wheelkid IIRC) that does that sort of work.
Theres a tech article over there too that shows what lengths they go to, so you get a striaght and true wheel.
I don't recall where it is though.

(the HAMB is kind of a big place to search)
