The modern wheels I've seen made up on single walled rims have been shockingly bad. You'll do well to make sure they're properly tensioned (no chance they will be by the machine that built them), stress relieved (ditto), and inspect for cracks at the eyelets. The hubs sucked too; take them apart, properly lubricate them, and adjust them.
