I can, if you're able to get over the time required to build them yourself... I buy sets of double butted 2.0/1.6/2.0 spokes at Yellow Jersey for $30 per wheel, usually plunder ebay for good deals on (new) rims, and either use hubs I already have or get inexpensive (used) hubs.

You already have hubs so you could easily put together a fantastic wheelset for $100-150.

If time is of the essence, get a used set on craigslist until you can rebuild your tri-color hubs. Then sell it later for virtually the same price.
