Do you need just the rims or the whole wheels? Wheels include the rim, spokes, and hub. The rear wheel also usually includes the cogset on multispeed bikes.
If your thought is restoration, the easiest thing to do is to find another of the same bike and cannibalize it. Restoration requires you use the same parts as the original.
If you are just “fixing it up” you can pretty much go to any garage sale or flea market and buy a bike with 27″ wheels and the same number of rear cogs for less than $50… probably less than $20.
Another good place to check depending on the brand of bike would be Mel Pinto Imports. They are on the web…
Old bike shops or those that do a lot of repairs and sell used parts may have light use or NOS 27″ rims.
Araya or Weinmann is probably most available.
The best solution would be 700c rims, larger tires (~35+mm) and long reach brakes.
