You can grab a pair of 16mm high, 18mm internal width Sun CR18/Tiagra wheels from Handsome Cycles for $230:

Tiagra hubs are sealed and adjustable as 105, so I don’t think there’s any tradeoff there, and the CR18 is as venerable as they come, but laced up 36 spoke, they should be extremely reliable.

chaadster I don't care about aero or weight insomuch as I'm not a racer. Am I building up a frame I've been searching for for 2+ years and do I want it to be a kick ass, quick, hot bike? Yes.
SoSmellyAir I'd love to run 28s but I just don't think its possible. That was something I was just bringing up because someone above had mentioned getting 19mm wheels, etc. 15 or 17 should be fine, or whichever you think would be best with a 700x25 tire. And yes, that post you found in the other thread is the bike.
