I am rebuilding a 1950s Hercules Kestrel in a retro style (not a faithful resto).
I want some retro style flip flop wheels to go on it and could do with some advice on what to get.
ebay seems to have plenty of flip flop wheels from modern track style to 27*1.25 chrome over alloy, so there are lots of options.

I am not too bothered about 27" v 700c, I just want decent rims and hubs in a "classic" style alloy rim, reasonably light weight for £100 or less.

any recommendations?

Been looking at these, but the photo needs to be clearer. Flip-flop hub, appears retro, price is okay.

For the retro look, which I'm also after, I'm considering these on my next build(The Great Behemoth).
