Just kidding. I wouldn't do it but to each his own. That looks like a mid-80's model and I'm pretty sure rims quite similar to that either were availble then or shortly would be by the late 80's so it's not completely out of place as long as the stickers are removed. Personally I would have used these Velo-Orange PBP rims shown below:
