I've spent much of the evening searching for a nice wide 29er rim for my own project, and keep coming back to the Salsa Gordo, but at £75-£85 each they might be a bit much for you, and at 35mm it does pretty much limit you to really big tyres.
These WTB rims at £27 and 28mm have a good rep as a mid range option. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=54400 £16 rear hub and http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=48622 £11 front hub and you could have a pair of wheels for under a ton, or a little over if you have to pay somebody else to build them.
