85-86 350X is a direct swap and silver in color as well as 86-87 200x.

Or pick up a new 10 inch wheel from X owner. I have one and it rocks.

Is there anywhere i can pick up a brand new rim? same size as the stock rim?

$125 for a 10in wheel is pretty pricy.

It may seem pricey, but in reality, eventually you will be very limited on 11 inch tire choices, which will probably drive those prices up even higher than a 10 inch tire.
Ten inch tires are everywhere in all styles, and will make the trike handle better.
But to answer your question I dont believe anyone offers a 11 inch front wheel except maybe Douglas, and they will want close to that price as well.
Even if you find a really clean next to new 350X front rim, you will be paying at least 75$ shipped for one.

Noone ever said this hobby is cheap. We all deal with it. If it has a engine and is meant for recreation, you have to dig deep into your pockets if you want to stay involved and have nice reliable equipment.
