Are you near Minneapolis? If so, check in on these people:
The Alternative Bike/Board Shop | Bike Sales, Bike Repair, Skateboard, Snowboard - Minneapolis The Alt
They did some work for me and a couple of other people when crossing the country in '99. The fact that they are still around must mean something. They hand build wheels for $50 plus parts, which you can supply your self or order from them.
