is it one of those special rims with the nipples on the hub and the spokes hook onto the rim?
if it isn't, then I would just recommend using something similar.

I went through this myself about two years ago... You're screwed.

Sorry to be that way. When it happened to me, I had to scrap them and build new wheels. I will probably never buy a set of wheels with a proprietary spoke design again, unless they are full carbon or something.

Nope, but at least you still have the more valuable/useful of the two. I'm not too proud to run mismatched equipment. Also, fronts are easier and more practical to obtain. They show up on Ebay from time to time for less than $100.
