KHS Winner - Curious about specs

I recently purchased a KHS Winner 10 spd for $10. The bike is in pretty good condition, but has some minor rust and wear. I'm wondering how much money I should drop on this. To that end, I'm trying to figure out just how good/bad this bike is compared to the 1985? Centurion Sport DLX I already own.

Here's what I know about it:

KHS Winner
Shimano indexed shifters/SIS rear derailleur
Steel wheels
Steel frame
Solid red paint job
I'm guessing year 1985-1989?

How much did KHS Winners retail for? It feels pretty heavy, but could it be the steel wheels? Would Aluminum wheels be worth purchasing for this thing?

All in all, it's a pretty smooth ride, and it fits me better than the Centurion. Let me know what you think.

Anyone? I would switch out the steel wheels just on general principle (they are not very good in rain).
