aluminum rims

Looking for aluminum rims 17x3 and 19x2.5. Can't find either on internet.

Sticking with stock widths because skinnier tires for more traction makes no sense. Never seen anyone do good science when going to larger rim diameters and narrower tires. Seems more aggressive tread style on new tires so size comparison is not valid. Not saying right or wrong, just not valid. Experience with different treads of same sizes indicates tread style makes more difference than just about anything else no matter the riding surface. Seen good rider with new adventure tires crash 6 times in 1 day on wet trails. 2 weeks later, same rider, same bike, old almost worn out MT21s on same trails but wetter, no wipe outs. Happens often.
