Commuting on the Lotus. Need wheels

Hello guys,

So after looking at all my bikes, talking to the concierge in the building etc. I've decided to use the Lotus to commute. It seems like a less brutal gearing for commutes and a much more comfortable bike. I also believe that if it weren't for commute the bike would not see too much action since the Panasonic is a much better road bike.

So the issue is, wheels are thrashed so need to get a new set. They are Ukai 27x1 and it has a 6 speed cassette and Suntour BL rear derailleur. While I've found some wheels in harriscyclery that look OK I am not sure what other options I have. I've done searches all 'round the forum and couldn't find anything other than those Harriscyclery wheels or people saying to swap to 700c.

Ideas please? I also found some used Ukais on eBay but god darn it they are expensive! The bike is ready to roll, just need the wheels and I'll be happily commuting

Thanks,
Luis
