Rear wheel rim WM 2 - 18
An 18 inch WM2 rear wheel rim for the rear wheel assembly, catalog number 37-1296 (also listed as W1296).
This is the rear wheel rim listed in the catalog as WM 2 - 18, an 18 inch rim in the WM2 width. It shows up under the rear wheel figure and carries an older alias number, W1296, which is the form you'd find printed in an earlier parts book for the same rim.

A rim like this is the hoop that the spokes pull tight to and that the tire seats on. On a wire wheel it's the part that takes the road hits and holds true when it's properly trued and tensioned.
The catalog record ties this to rear wheel applications across 1963 to 1964 appearances, but it doesn't spell out which specific models beyond that. If you're matching this to a particular bike, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
