This is an excellent opportunity to lace an aluminum rim to the hub. I used a DID rim from an early '80's XR200, but a new Warp 9 rim would also be a good choice. You can pick up a decent wheel balancing stand for cheap at Rocky Mountain (or similar). You could also use Buchanon stainless spokes if you wish, as ARH says.
