Decades ago I had a car that had Wards Riverside tires that were about 50 years old then and I ran the hell out of them and never seemed to be able to detect any sort of wear. I have one tire on my current T that is probably from the '70's that is all checked and worn out and needs to be replaced. Go figure. Lots to be said for those old rubber compounds, but when the time comes there is never anything like brand new tires. Your wheels and tires look great! What a bunch of work but what a great result!
