There is really no reason to build the wheels yourself. Even with factory wheels you will need to take them trued after couple of rides so you can just as well have the initial build done in China. Novatec and Dt Swiss hubs are available and both are quite nice. The only thing I would recommend is asking for brass nipples instead of the standard alloy ones.
