To the OP, why did you buy the used wheels if you didn't like them?
Very good question. Didn't say I didn't like them, it is just that after I purchased them, the hubs didn't look as good as mine.l

You are right on!
I think I clarified myself as a newbie going.
And it looks like what you suggested in getting the old wheel rebuilt might be the way I will eventually be going. This is all a big learning curve for me. I paid $130 for the set of used wheels/hubs. Now, I don't know " 30 mm Deep V type and the old rims 22mm (?) tall like an Open Pro" if you smack me with it right in the head!
So, when I post the pictures(this evening), and the feedback I get is that the wheels I purchased are DIFFERENT/SUB-STANDARD/NOT THE RIGHT KIND, I will just eat the $130 and go to the LBS and asked them how much to rebuild the rear wheel, with a matching rim to the front.
Last week I made two purchases, a bike at a apartment moving sale, and the wheels off of craiglist. The bike will be the subject of another thread. From the feedback I am getting it seems I made the wrong choice here. No matter, part of the learning curve.
Thanks BIG TIME for the feedback, I think this puts me on the right track.
