Are these rims wrecked?

I recently bought a new to me 1986 Schwinn Super Sport that is in excellent shape (for its age) except for the rims. Looks to me like an unenlightened mechanic used a screwdriver or some other means...

The difference being that it did affect me because it was close to me.

Nishiki Prestige--my 60.00 find--suggestions?

So, I don't know a whole lot about road bikes. I was getting pretty tired to lugging (no pun intended) my Schwinn Voyageur around when all I wanted to do was zip up and down some hills.

So, I...
