Small update. I think I achieved one of my goals. I was hoping to get the rims into 10 foot territory. I would have probably settled for 10 MPH. I think they are almost 5 footers. I'm sure a trained eye will see problems with them.

Warming up the Evapo-Rust does help. All I did was de-grease stuff before putting it in.

That is with them waxed. I used Nu Finish. Do you think there is something better to put on them?Man! Considering what you started with, I think those came out great! Don’t forget to apply a coat of wax to the rims to help prevent rust from coming back. Good job!

A wax thread could almost be as entertaining as an oil thread.I'm a diehard Turtle Wax fan...

I forgot one question. Where is the correct place to check for run-out?
They got anti-seize on them as the wheel was assembled. Thanks tho.If you didn't do it already, take the spoke nipples out one at a time and put some anti-seize on 'em.You're lookin' for even pressure as you tighten... anti-seize helps.
Last I looked... Youtube has tons of videos on truing. Can't recommend one over the other, but might be worth a look.Struggling a bit figuring out how tight is tight for the spokes.
