Hello everyone, I use my bike as my primary transportation, I was in a hurry and didn't lock up my bike though the frame & rear wheel. As a result my entire wheel was stolen, having that quick release on there, probably made it easier to just take. I really don't know which 'rim' I should be shopping for. It says 8 speed on my gear switcher and I think I recall it being 27.5 inches and to boot, I've always had innertube problems with that wheel(the rear one) Everything I've been seeing is really expensive for me 100$+ and most of them aren't even illustrated with the gears/spokes for the chain. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a rear wheel that wont break the bank, but is also still usable on this bike? Thank you everyone in advance

Doubtful it’s 27.5. What size tire is on the front? Looks to be 26″
You will have to match the size look at the sidewall on the front tire it will give you dimensions. The rim will use those numbers most bikes have a shimano hg hub and then you can get an 8 speed cassette (rear gears) if you want cheap look for used one on marketplace or check with local bike co-op or bike shop. Most new metal rims will run upwards of $70 and the casstte will be $30+.
Did they take the top of your saddle too?
