How do I search for compatible wheels?
I have a gravity track bike with flip flop hub, carbon fork, and caliper brakes similar to this one: Save up to 60% off new Disc Brake Flatbar Road Bikes - Gravity Avenue FXD Save up to 60% off new road bikes
It currently has 700x25 tires on it and has 120mm long rear thru axle (I don't know how to measure diameter but the middle of the hub was about 18mm):
How do I search for compatible wheels? I barely know anything about bikes and tried to research wheels but still don't know what terms to search in google to shop for replacement wheels. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

If you search for "Track Wheelset" that should get you plenty of compatible results. Or you could look here https://www.retro-gression.com/colle...eels-wheelsets
How often do you clean your bike??
.
Edit** Just saw that you posted a picture of a Gravity bike with Disc Brakes. I don't see a disc on the rear wheel, do you have a disc brake set up on the front??

I commute in nyc everyday rain, snow, or shine so that dirt accumulates very quickly. Also it deters potential thieves hopefully. I don't want to scrap the bike because I just got new brakes and crank set on it

No, that is a road bike wheel and is fits frames spaced at 130mm. Something like these will work for you

Those goofy wheels will likely work but if you are riding a cheap bike that is poorly maintained but is kept that way for "security" I wouldn't want flashy wheels, plus you will have poorer braking with carbon and will need new pads. What is wrong with your current wheels, aside from being horribly filthy? If you are having bearing issues maybe clean your wheels and have your local shop take them apart and re-grease everything and tension the spokes properly and that will save you money on new wheels and refresh your ride.
