All I can say is make sure to get the exact same rims if you plan re-using the same spokes. "Effective Rim Diameter" is critical when lacing up a rim otherwise the they will be to short or to long and you wont know until it almost fully tensioned.

Your best bet is to contact Rad for a replacement.  The spokes on the rear wheel are 12 gauge so that might be an issue for some rims. 

If for some reason you can't get parts from Rad your best bet is probably a wheel builder.
