I know I'm swimming against tides as per, but I'm recommending these well priced new wheels bought recently of eBay... Nicely built, tough as and supplied with spare spokes. Never had a screw on, but I've never encountered hub/chainline problems with cassettes, ever. Last week mine were £59 so prices can fluctuate/there are other deals for disc-types.

Look really good for the price if you ain't got discs, I think those rims are a touch heavy but for that money they're decent.
Shame they don't come in not-blue, looks like I'll need a cheap-ish set of 26" wheels
I have some old, very similar wheels here but they are waiting to go on something.
Going to try the Pop-Up Jumble tomorrow on the off chance they have something suitable, or at least some 26" rims for now.

Shit, I could buy these and some cheap hubs and flog them on like he is.
Rob - good idea !!
Mine are red - sure he has other colours.
I can do you a pair of them rims 32h in full anodised gold for £10.
Bling.
