If you're going to take the time to rebuild it, I'd probably get a fresh rim to try with the washers. (That is, if you can find one.)

I've built lots of wheels with used rims (most of unknown provenance), but I figure anything that already has a sign of cracking will set me up for disappointment sooner rather than later.
