I meant how much you're going to pay for the wheels. They really need to be worth the asking price for just the hubs.
As for rebuilding, if you want something ideal for 2.1" tyres the baseline is probably Ryde Andra 40, which are £50 a pair. If you pay a shop to build those onto your hubs you're looking at the usual range of prices, probably around £80 including spokes.

@gbj_tester cheers for replies btw. Paid £135. Ideally go like 2.2/2.3 but was wondering how wide I can go on that 17mm rim. If 2.1 works won't be forking out £180!

@gbj_tester I'm unfortunately not a wheelbuilder :( but learnt a tiny bit when I got a set built by my lbs last year. So shop prices for labour and parts.
What do you reckon on tyre width?
