How many spokes? 16? I'd buy a set of nos or 2nd hand rims (you see them kicking around, I think there are some (tubs I think?) in classifieds at the moment).
I'd personally re-use the spokes too, as long as they're not visibly damaged, corroded or fatigued. I know it's generally considered bad practice, but I've re-rimmed countless wheels, personally and professionally, using 'old' spokes, with no ill-effects.
