OK, so any standard front wheel with a disc mount will fit w/o modification, with either a solid axle or hollow axle with a quick release. As to the rear, 120mm is standard track frame spacing, so you want a wheel with 120mm axle OLD (over locknut distance). Any track wheel will fit, but finding one with a disc mount will be difficult. The joy-tech (Novatec) JY-D244DSE rear hub that you mention is that type of hub, but they are not all that common. You definitely don't want a wider road wheel, because it will force you the spread your frame to make the wheel fit in the dropouts. Basically, you need to find a wheel like your current wheel.

I assume the rear of your bike looks something like this:
