Does anyone know what manufacturer makes a 18" x 3.00 40 aluminum rim. I checked and Excel makes a
3.50 wide rim but that's kind of wide for a H2. I had a 3.00 wide rear on my last H2 and think it was a D.I.D.
What about Sun rims?

Excel goes 2.5" then jumps to 3.5" either dimpled or not.

Sun goes 2.75" then jumps to 3.5" except for a 3"x19"

Just looked at Buchanan's website...

I think 3.50 x 18 rear and 2.50 x 18 front is good rim sizes for H1 and H2.

I have the 3.50 x 18 rear but with tire mounted it's real close to chain , believe I'm running a 2.15 x 18 front. I had to pull the chain guard off of bike with the wider rear

Same rim sizes I'm using on my H2C with no chain guard issues...

I run a 130/80-18 on a 3.50 rim, it's close, but no clearance issues! :D
