You also may have a higher standard when it comes to "quality" than I do, but both Velomine and Modern Bicycle, and I'm sure others, sell both 27" and 26" pre-built wheels. You have a couple choices of rims, and the Origin8 hubs that are on my Velomine wheels are surprisingly nice. The only downside seems to be that they almost all use straight-gauge spokes, but for the price I can live with that.
Last year I got an old Fuji with 27" wheels. I ended up buying 700Cs for it, but only so I'd have another wheelset that fit two of my other bikes. I was happy to see that if I wanted to buy brand new 27" wheels for it, I had several good choices.
