Yes they are. There is a seller on ebay that lists 27" rims. I was interested at one time and asked the seller if they had hook beads, he said yes.

I have a set of Weinmann rims on one of my bikes that is 27" and has hooked beads.

I'd still try to verify that with the seller. They look like hook bead in the photos.
