Find a set of wheels used. They are out there cheap, particularly 27 inchers, but 700c are out there too. I have rehabbed a couple of hundred bikes, upgraded countless wheels, and have yet to have bought a single new wheel. Run a WTB wheels in your local C/L, in the bicycles for sale section.
Saw a set of 700c, with tires, tubes and cassette, on my local C/L yesterday, $40..... I would have bought them, but I was out of town (they are gone now of course).
