Looking for 26 x 1 3/8 rims

Hi all,
I'm currently doing a rebuild of a 1977 Raleigh 3 speed. Everything is going pretty well so far but I'm having some difficulty getting my hands on a set of good value 26 x 1 3/8 rims, 36 hole.
Ideally I'd like a black or polished finish and will be rebuilding the wheels with the original sturmey archer hubs.
Does anyone know where I can get a set of these rims? The closer to Cork City the better.
Thanks
Stew

Have a look at HighNelly.ie as they stock the westwood rims for the old rod breakes and will prob have the ones you want. Very quick delivery.

Thanks for the reply guys.
Unfortunately they are all westwood rims so no good for catilever brakes.
I think I may have to convert to 700c

Have a look at www.Dutchbikebits.co.uk. They have the steel rims for side pull.

I got a set in Dublin, they had to be ordered in but I could inquire as to what supplier they used?

Thanks Esroh, just the stuff I'm looking for.

If you could A Jeffers that would be great.
