im making an SS out of an old Peugeot frame. I have old 27inch steel wheels from another 10 speed build i could use. I beleive they are araya rims.

i have the choice of going to a set of older donor no name aluminum rims from a crappy DiamondBack Approach hybrid bike. Would it be worth it or should i just use the steel wheels?

If you're going to run a brake, throw the AL rim on the front.
