In an earlier post I stated the wheels were 27 x 1-1/4 steel rims, so you are right. Apparently the OP only visited BF once or twice to get some info to be able to post on CL, but likely hasn't bothered to return. And another poster pointed out that the bike needed immediate maintenance to make it roadworthy; however, that hasn't deterred the OP, who is not doing the maintenance. I emailed the guy about his CL post and he said he was a road bike rider, but when I questioned him further, he refused to respond.
