Greetings, folks. I figure if anybody would be knowledgeable in the correct wheelset for a classic '83 Trek 970 (Columbus SL tubing, Super Record gruppo) it would be this group.

I recently purchased (& probably overpaid for) the above-mentioned bike. It came outfitted with Wheelsmith-built clincher wheels on Specialized hubs. I did receive the never-laced Super Record 36H low flange hubs from the seller. Coincidentally, I have a set of NOS Wolber Super Champion Arc-en-Ciel 36H tubular rims in anodized (NOT polished) silver finish. The stickers on the rims are black and gold. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether these rims would be relatively "period correct" for my restoration/rebuild?
