If you want to get creative, the wheels themselves are all the same, it's just the bearing and the inner spacer that are different between fittings.

When I did the fork conversion on my 600/620 hybrid, we knocked the bearings out and replaced the spacer and bearings to take the bigger axle.

Much cheaper than buying a new wheel, and you get new bearings!

You may be able to hunt around and get a cheaper front off something else, and do the same to make it fit.
