You mean 57.5cm right? Haha, otherwise you'd be riding on a bike almost 5 feet tall. Anyways, to answer your question 700c are the rims you need. Hubs, if they're meant for all weather, as someone in another thread pointed out, you should get sealed bearing hubs due to longevity and design against the elements. So you're probably looking at formula/iro hubs for value. Spoking and wheel pattern, people usually get dt sapim or wheelsmith spokes and 3x back lacing and a radial front. You shouldn't have radial lacing on the back wheel as it would cause spoke failure due to torsional forces acting on the hub due to the drivetrain.

Lastly, on ebay, I believe there are a ton of deep v wheelsets for around 230 with sealed bearing formula hubs that work fairly well.
