I just get rims and spokes from them but they'll do the work for you if you want. They've been around forever and are very reputable wheel builders.

I took digital pictures just so I could remember the pattern and bought NOS spokes off ebay, each wheel took only about an hour total. It was remarkably easy and they came out straight and true.

nice idea with the pics before so you know. the prob is i am putting a non stock hoop on the kz hub. 5in wide 16 in hoop. how do i figure spokes to buy?
You have to be careful. The diameter of the hub dictates the angle the holes are drilled in the rim. The larger the hub, the more acute the angle. You want to make sure the rim is compatible with the hub. Using a wheel from a rear disk bike on a drum hub causes the spokes to bend coming out of the nipple...

If you already have a rim now do you know what it is off?
