Right after the first full ride, now my rebuilt racer I have finally decided the rims are shot. Too many dents and dings, the brakes judder like mad, and I'm concerned the forks won't take it!

Now I don't think there is anything wrong with the spokes, but as I'm taking it apart figured it would probably make sense to replace them. How would I go about getting the correct ones?

The wheels are 27"

As for Rims I was thinking about these yay/nay?

However I did wonder whether new wheels would be cheaper and easier. I recognise Weinmann as a decent make, but the hubs look cheap.

Just wondering if these are worth a punt? Can anyone suggest some reasonable quality 27" wheels? I'm not bothered about weight or performance I just want something strong. Under a £100 preferably.
