Hubs are Suntour Superbe Pro and Rims are Ambrosio Montreal?

spocalc has a pretty good database of vintage hubs and rims, but if it doesn't have your exact items you can come pretty close by using measurements from similar components, e.g. IIRC, Superbe Pro hubs are pretty close copies of Campagnolo Record hubs, so you'll just need to know whether they're large or small flange and the number of spoke holes. You can find the rim diameter easily with a tape measure.
