You should put an ask in the ISO-WTB thread for wheels, somebody here may have a set they will let go.
Check at a bike co-op if you have one near you and CL for a donor bike that could give you other parts as well, especially small fiddly bit that can be a PITA to source,
Even if you can't find a nice set, you can get started, much of this can be one step forward, two steps back when fussing with sourcing parts for a build.
If you have a donor to work off of it can help you by swapping a part or showing you what won't work so you can get the right part, a bird in the hand and all that.
