I think they are shot! Please carefully pack them up so as keep them aligned in a north/south direction while shipping. I have a guy down the street that disposes of those old toxic metal wheels. (If you don't have a matching front wheel, then forget what I just said)
Seriously, I suspect the bearings in the hub are worn and will need replacing/adjusting. Look for a bicycle co-op/collective near you, and go learn how simple (and cheap) a hub overhaul can be.
