Jeff,
Yes, definitely get rid of those old wires. They will cost way more to true
and get right, even if you could find someone to do it, than a new set. I was
faced with the same situation with my TR250 many years ago. I just replaced
the old rumbling wires with a new set of painted wires, 60 spokers as
original. They are surprisingly reasonable in cost. After 20,000+ miles they
are
running fine. Even the passenger front that banged right thru a cement trench
at a
road construction site but that's another story.
Cheers,
Darrell
