If not for that, the price cant be beat, would have been a no brainer.
You are quite right about the cassette. You need a freewheel to keep the original drive.
The rim width of all the rims mentioned is not any problem with the 700c x 25 mm tires you bought. Most road bike rims are 19mm-20mm wide and will be fine with anything from 700c x 23 - to 700c x 28 tires.
