When I have wheels built the labor is usually in the $20-$30 range, spokes are around $1 a piece for straight gauge and up to $1.70 for fancy double butted. This in NC away from the big city. I usually provide my own rims and hubs. I only pay to have wheels built when I am in a bind time wise and need the bike.
