Really depends on what era/what bike, but here's a safe bet

Rims = Ukai's or Araya's
Hubs = Suzue sealed low flange.

I'm building a Haro Group 1.

In the catalogues it says they came with   Araya 7Z or Araya 72    36H  20x1.75 alloy rims

How do these compare to Araya 7X rims ?

What about  Peregrine HP 48 rims ?
