Could anyone confirm if these will work for me?

Before you dive into what appear to be reasonable new non-vintage replacement wheels, have you considered looking for a set of period correct wheels? In my experience, there are plenty of them out there, especially 27". If you aren't in too big of a hurry, you can bide your time and jump on a bargain when it comes up. Ebay auctions typically last long enough that we can assist you with valuation of a particular set.
I've not been disappointed buying wheels from Ebay, as the sellers I've dealt with have been very scrupulous to represent them accurately.
