I like the rims a lot. I have a pair of Gallis from about the same era on my conversion (an Italian frame built for a German brand).

The braking improves a lot once you wear off the anodizing on the brake surface. When I got mine, the anodizing was already partially worn, and I recently took some steel wool to the brake surfaces to get rid of the remainder. And braking improved a lot... They also look better.

that's the thing with anodized rims, they look super when new but don't brake as well as when the anodizing is worn down. Problem is they look bad once this starts happening. But at this point, nixing the rest of the anodizing improves both braking and looks.

if you ever need to replace one or both, don't want to pay NOS prices, and are ok with using non-original rims, the Ryde 421s are pretty similar looking (probably stronger and definitely cheaper).
