On reflection today,( and after going outside to see how many of these rims I really had), I think I would have to re-evaluate this earlier assessment.
If the rims are blasted clean, do not show any signs of damage, wear or corrosion, then why not re-use them, taking into account the safety requirements during filling. Many of them have lasted over half a century, and if they pass inspection now and are properly preserved, there is no reason they can't last another 100 years.
I found this style of rim on both my 1956 firetrucks, adding another 12 more of these rims to the total of 14 in the yard.
