There is a problem with your premisse. You cannot simply decide "count y as a consonant" wherever it may happen to appear. When it is used for the same sound as elsewhere may be marked by a vowel (esp. i and long e), it is NOT a consonant! Y is ONLY a consonant when it appears at the beginning of syllables (esp clear at the beginning of words).
Understanding this, a word like "rhythms" does NOT consist of 'all consonants' (and saying so does not make it so!). As a result, there is NO seven-letter English word without any vowels in it. (The only way you could do this then is to extend a word used to indicate an interjection, e.g., "shhhhhh" or "brrrrrr", or something else used to imitate a sound someone makes, such as "tsktsk(s)".

'Rhythms' seems to be the only 7 letter word.

In english, no such thing. All words have at least one vowel per syllable.

glycyls, nymphly, rhythms, tsktsks (which are all actually considered valid words in the dictionary)
