Do them yourself M1ke, I have put together a walkthrough for wheel building in the Tech and Restoration Stickies section, there is also a walkthrough for spoke sizing if you don't know what size you need.

Honestly, it is not difficult to build wheels, you will get such a buzz from doing it yourself and it is a skill you can use forever.
