Your best bet is to have an LBS that you have a good relationship with build you a set of wheels. Depending on the cost of the rims and hubs, labor and spokes should run about $150 (mine charges $1 per spoke plus $50 per wheel when I supply the hub and rim, less when the hub and rim is bought through them). So coming in under your budget shouldn't be a problem. I like the Sun CR18 rims, but there are many great choices. Best of luck.
