The original Shamals are Ok for the track (I have been lent pairs for major events) but they have a reputation for not being good with sideways flex (road cornering) i.e. they collapse! not sure how a rebuilt rim wold perform....
have to say when I have ridden them, they were silky smooth, if slow to accelerate.
