I would really say you should just upgrade your RIMS first, and there are a ton of rims available with most running right around 50 bucks each (front and rear = 100 bucks)
The tough part is you then have to build the wheel, or pay a shop to do it. Building a wheel for the first time is scary and takes a long time. No less than about 8 hours the FIRST time you do it, plus you will probably need new spokes, which is why buying a decent complete wheelset is a good way to go.
8 HOURS?! jesus holygod...the first wheel i built took me like, and hour and a half. maybe if you have the spokes on one end of town, and the nipples on the other end of town, and the hubs and rims three towns over...8 hours? are you serious?
