Not sure if you can wait that long? My suggestion is to just buy new wheels and be done with it. Those bolts use to be 5 bucks when I worked in the bike shop.
That's steep for such a simple bit of kit! Ouch.

Agree with new wheels... more choice in both rims and tires...and a pair of silver Shimano 105 modern brakes with a slightly longer drop will provide much better braking than older ones, even with modern pads and still look the part.

If you go that route then selecting the wheels is another rabbit hole to vanish down.....
