I rode my '82 Supreme outside for a year on its original wheels and now it does permanent duty on the trainer all winter on the same those same items. The bike had low enough miles on it when I picked it up that I would have no reservations about riding the daylights out of it. I put a couple thousand miles on my Nishiki's wheels before setting them aside, and then it was only to change over to 700's so I could mount studded tires. I think you will find that they are fine.
