Make sure you remove freewheels first.
Toss any steel wheels unless very early (50s)...their spokes and hubs are likely similar quality.
Open the marginal quality hubs and see if the cones or races are pitted. Easy scrap.
Keep the good rims in pairs. Those should store fairly easily.
Rust = recycle.
