you could save a fortune by rebuilding them yourself. look on you tube for tutorials on wheel building . you dont need special equipment , I used a black and decker workmate and a steel rule.
Ive never done it before but was happy with results.
I got my spokes nickle plated for 20 quid with some other bits. and my rear rim was re used I bought a new front rim which was second hand NOS cheap.
Last time i had a pair done was by Paul Jackson Rishworth huddersfield not sure if hes still doing it as he was elderly then and he was talking of retiring.

Thanks for the replys in answers to the replys it's a 1972 a j I think and I am in the tyne and wear area and the rims and spokes are too far gone to refurb , but have seen new rim and spokes on ebay for £149 so if I cannot find someone to supply and build for around that may give it a go myself as suggested by someone thank you once again
