Bill, I have heard that Buchanons can reroll the Kelsey Hayes drop centre rims, I believe it used to be around a hundred dollars per rim or so. Never tried it myself, as with shipping etc it can be a pricey way to go. 

Out of round best sorted before spoking, as Carl-Erik suggests. Run out, as a rough guidleline, the UK mot inspection requires a runout of not more than 4 mm ( 0.157") on a steel rim , and not more than 3mm out of round. A little over these numbers is going to be barely noticeable, and these figures are relevant modern vehicles.

I would thoroughly recommend looking at Dunlop K70 tyres, while the Coker diamond pattern look the part, they have a tendency to be quite out of balance, and I have found them unsuited to wet conditions. The K70 is not only much cheaper , but a considerably better all round product. Jeff Alperin, who puts a Lot of miles on his scout, used a modern pattern Michelin on his Cannonball expedition.

I have to agree Tim   I've been using Dunlop K70s  for many years  and just ordered two new ones today for the back Tyres on both our 101s  .
