Yes, it is actually rideable now.
The wheels that RobbieTunes passed forward were off a '65 Hercules and are Dunlop rims to boot! I can't thank Robbie enough for his generosity with the wheels. This is an early- to mid-50's bike and I'm not entirely sure what brand the rims would have been (probably Dunlops also), but it would have likely had a Hercules hub on the bike. I've managed to get my hands on a Hercules A Type 9 from a forum member recently as well as a Bayliss-Wiley hub off eBay so I will probably build a set of wheels on those at a later point in time.
