Iv trued/ straightened wheels before as I used to ride bmx a fair bit years ago
But yes keeping these wheels and converting them could be a good option however I liked the idea of having sealed bearings and a decent hub ( iv never had one before lol)
Take note of the post after mine. Conversion to fixed is probably not a good idea unless you like the idea of your rear cog spontaneously unscrewing itself the first time you try and skid.
Track hubs have stepped threads, one larger one for screwing on the cog, one smaller reverse threaded one for the locking that stops the cog unscrewing. I managed to forget this small but rather important detail...
