There are very few wheel rebuilders in the UK who can do the tubeless Akront wheels. There's one in Devon, but they seem to be very slow.
I wouldn't panic too much though, there are plenty of second hand wheels. One day I will get some and have them rebuilt. New rims are available from non-BMW sources. I don't think they are manufactured by Akront though. I'm sure it would also be possible to have a different type of rim fitted. I've never been convinced of the need for tubeless tyres on an Airhead. It's not exactly a performance bike.
