Wheel Swap Question

First let me clarify that I am a newbie. With that said, here are my questions.

I have a 1985 Raleigh Competition I aquired a little while ago. Everything checked out fine when I took it to the LBS to be checked out except the rear wheel. The rear wheel is untrue, and the LBS told me that did all they could do and still couldn't get it to be true, I would need another wheel. I can feel it when I ride too.

The other day I picked up a pair of used wheels. Even before I purchased them, the seller took off my rear wheel, and put his on, and spun it to show the trueness.

Okay, moving on, looking at the just purchased wheels, the hubs don't look as good as the ones on my bike. Now, they may be better I don't know, but they don't look as good. Is there anyway, I can take the hubs on the orginal wheels and put on the set of wheels I just purchased? Or would it be cost prohibited to even try that?

I will post pictures of my original wheels and hubs, and the newly aquired wheels and hubs.

Thanks in advance,
