I do 25 $ shipped if that helps
Thanks for your kind offer, but I can't right now.
If you still have it availible in a week or two, I will know more of what I can and can't get away with and we can exchange PayPal info. Im can't ask you to hold it for me though I would like to.
 
For drum brake hubs, you can find many old moped wheels on ebay or CL for really cheap. The front hubs range from Grimeca to Lelui (spelling?) And other brands, and the size is about the same as an Atom drum.

Rear moped drums usually have a single freewheel, and the other side has the engine drive sprocket 6 hole mount, but you can grind them off, or just leave them.

Rears are 135mm, so you have to spread the frame, but that's easy.

Rim size is 16" or 17" usually, so you'll have to respoke the hubs into bike rims, unless you're building a bmx bike. (16" is motorcycle sizing, which equates to a 20" bicycle wheel and 20" bike tires will fit on them.)

Probably more info than your friend needs, but...

I've bought them for as little as 20 bucks a pair.

Oh, and they use 12 or 11g spokes.
